Postville: Hometown to the World

Inspired by the devastating Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid in Postville, IA in 2008, Postville is an opera that focuses on three archetypes from the devastated town, a Guatemalan immigrant, a middle aged lutheran farmer and a young gay Hasidic jew all in turmoil after that tragic day. They find hope in community and their shared humanity. Created by composer Laura Kaminsky and librettist Kimberly Reed, world premiere performances take place on December 10, 11, and 12.
