Welcome to America, according to press notes, "introduces us to Mordechai Maze (Warfield) and his family. Maze was 'somebody' in the old country but in America he sorts remnants in a sweatshop in Manhattan's garment district. With his son, Harry, busy playing baseball and his daughter, Annie, having eloped with his boss's son, Maze begins to feel more and more like a remnant himself. But when his co-workers try to get him to use his new familial connection to their advantage by asking his new son-in-law for a raise, it proves more than he can handle. 'Don't you know remnants have no value, don't you know that?' he asks as he begins to feel even more out of place, refusing to let go of the mindset and cultural traditions of his homeland."

Other members of the creative team include set designer Lee Savage, lighting designer John Kernisky and costume designer Alixandra Gage Englund.
