Sigi Gradwohl on her role as Leah in The Immigrant:
As an immigrant myself, I was drawn to this piece to share the story of my ancestors. I delved into the acting challenges of learning Yiddish, a Russian accent and aging from 16 to 49. But what has truly inspired me is the countless number of audience members who have approached us post-show to tell us that this, too, is their story. I have realized that this timely piece continues to be especially relevant today and deeply resonates with those from all corners of the world. I hope you'll join our journey towards honoring our heritage -- no matter your roots.
Sigi graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2009 with a double major in Psychology and Drama.
