Eight children, a director-mom and other parent chaperones, have been invited to the U.S. from war-torn Ukraine.
- A quiet street in Fort Greene stands in sharp contrast to what's happening inside a former church, where a young Ukrainian cast is rehearsing for an upcoming performance of"Mom on Skype," at Brooklyn's Irondale Theater.
"What do they do in the middle of a war when bombs are falling around them, potentially? They decide to make a play. That's incredible," Greiss said."I thought we've got to get them here."After months of red tape, visa applications and some political wrangling, he saw what he calls an impossible project finally realized.
"Mom on Skype" is based a series of stories about children missing their parents, who are forced to work far away from their families. "We have air alarms, several times a day," said Tetiana Mysiuha, through a translator."We are in the place where people would come to save their lives.""When we went to America, it's like another life because it's without any alarms without any dangers, without any planes, Russians' planes," she said.
