About the Play
“Refugee” is this season’s Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) touring production directed by Megan Leonard. It is a powerful stage adaptation that follows the harrowing journeys of three young people from different times and places, each fleeing their homeland in search of safety and freedom. Though separated by time and geography, their stories are woven together to show the timeless and universal experience of being a refugee. As they face unimaginable dangers—violence, loss, and uncertainty—they also show courage, resilience, and the hope for a better life. Characters include:
Josef, a Jewish boy in 1939 Nazi Germany, boards a ship with his family in hopes of escaping the horrors of the Holocaust.
Isabel, a Cuban girl in 1994, sets out on a homemade raft bound for America to escape political unrest and economic hardship.
Mahmoud, a Syrian boy in 2015, journeys across war-torn landscapes seeking refuge and a new beginning in Europe.
This play highlights the emotional and historical impact of refugee crises across generations, reminding audiences of our shared humanity and the importance of compassion.
