''Half a World Away,'' by Ruth Tyndall Baker

Barter Stage II, Abingdon, Virginia Saturday, March 16

(March 16 - May 5) A true struggle in America today: That, a 17-year-old boy who has lived half his life in Burma and half his life in America, must navigate the pressures of family, love, education and his roots. It’s not often that a theatrical performance delves so deeply into the issues of how one can love two cultures but be accepted by neither. Gain a new perspective as an immigrant teenage boy struggles to belong in both worlds. Will he eventually have to choose between cultures? Winner of Barter Theatre’s Shaping of America Series.
