Peter Rothstein and actress Sally Wingert will be working on IN PAPER BOATS, a play about Frances Cabrini, Patron Saint of Immigrants. Born two months premature in Sant'Angelo Lodigiano, Italy, in 1850, Cabrini tried to join a religious order at age 20, but was told she was too frail. She subsequently formed her own religious community and relocated to the United States in order to minister to the rapidly growing number of Italian immigrants. She crossed the Atlantic 23 times, and went on to found 67 hospitals, schools and orphanages.

A LETTER FROM FRANCES CABRINI
Read by Sally Wingert
“I travel, work, suffer my weak health, meet with a thousand difficulties, but all these are nothing, for this world is so small.”
“I’m gonna find out everything I can about her. And then we’re going to make you a play it’s going to be fun. And it’s going to be interesting. And, hopefully, moving as well.”
