Here is a description:
Piecework: When We Were French — the moving and hilarious one-woman show by writer and performer Abby Paige. Based on extensive research and interviews with Franco-Americans, this powerful and delightful performance explores the legacy of more than a century of French-Canadian immigration to New England and how our stories, memories, and secrets make us who we are. History comes in pieces. We stitch them together.
Here is more information, including a link where you can pay to watch it for $2.00 or purchase it for $15.00. This is Paige’s own site and all proceeds go directly to the artist.
