Coming to America
An immigrant cabaret by Karin Rosnizeck
September 26-October 18, 2026
Atlas Performing Arts Center
America is a mosaic of arrival stories, and to celebrate its 250th anniversary, we are bringing three of them to the stage. This musical cabaret follows the protagonists from diverse global backgrounds as they navigate the “obstacle race” of integration—confronting the systemic complexities and cultural contradictions of their new home. Through song and storytelling and with plenty of humor, wit, and sharp satire, we celebrate, dramatize and humorize these unique chronicles while reflecting the breadth of U.S. culture and its complex and ever-changing relationships to the world.
Expats Theatre Founder Karin Rosnizeck is a theatre artist who has performed in and directed numerous shows around D.C. Before coming to the US, she worked for more than a decade in transatlantic relations and cross-cultural dialogue. She holds an M.A. in American/English and French Literature from the University of Stuttgart in Germany. She was an Artist in Residence at the Kennedy Center Reach in 2023.
