How Many Bushels Am I Worth?

The original play, making its New York debut, captures a Kiev family’s agonizing decision in 1976 to flee the Soviet Union for the United States. Based on the life of playwright Bena Shklyanoy, How Many Bushels Am I Worth? marks close to five decades of Soviet-Jewish immigration to America.  The event, which opened in 2018 to critical acclaim in Chicago, is produced by AppleDoesNotFall.com and FirstHand Theatrical, a Rhode Island-based theater company.
