Writing in La Boz Sefaradi, Ethan Marcus, Managing Director of the Sephardic Jewish Brotherhood of America, called Arrivals, “Amazing!”
Audiences on both coasts have responded with laughter and tears to the moving story of Marco Cordova, an ambitious young Sephardic Jew from Turkey, who comes to Seattle in 1902 to make his fortune. The first Sephardic Jew to arrive in the city, he soon meets Bayla Keigelman, a fragile Ashkenazi girl fleeing a Russian pogrom. Despite the cultural gulf between them, they fall in love but find they must confront forces that declare their love forbidden.
