Syracuse Stage to Perform for 8th Graders on Feb. 28

SKANEATELES, NY (February 16, 2017) – Members of Syracuse Stage will perform before Skaneateles Middle School 8^th grade students on Feb. 28, with a performance of “Rosalie Randazzo: Child Garment Worker.”

The performance, which focuses on a fictional character, is a composite based on the true stories of the millions of child laborers and immigrants working in America at the dawn of the 20^th century and is a part of the Syracuse Stage Backstory program.

The Backstory program is a live, interactive and creative history lesson for upper elementary students through adults. 

Backstory performances invite students to step back in time for an interactive classroom experience with a featured historical character portrayed by a Syracuse Stage artist-in-residence.  Bringing historical characters to life, audiences have the unique opportunity to interact with characters following the performance.

Sara Ariello and Lauren Unbekant will present the performance to the 8^th grade student body at 8:00 a.m. on Feb. 28 in the Skaneateles Middle School cafeteria.
