What's on
THE LAST YIDDISH SPEAKER by Deborah Zoe Laufer
Sarah and her father, Paul, have fled NYC and are hiding in plain sight as Mary and Paul Tate in upstate, NY. It’s eight years after the successful January 6th insurrection and anyone who isn’t White and Christian has fled the country or been “disappeared.”
They’ve almost made it through their first year when, late one night, an ancient, Yiddish-speaking woman is deposited on their doorstep with a note, “It’s your turn to hide her. Good luck.” They must grapple with whether to protect her or turn her in and save themselves.
“…aching and funny, and thought- provoking above all else.” “To say that The Last Yiddish Speaker is timely doesn’t quite do it justice.”
— Houston Press
“…her script is damn near perfect…” “It seems for every generation, there comes a new cautionary voice.”
— South Florida Theatre Magazine
“…haunting and even terrifying… ultimately, the play, which will hopefully enjoy a long theatrical life, suggests that there is a way out of hostility, prejudice, division, and other ills.”
— Regional Theatre Southeast
Directed by: Annette Hillman
A three-week run, Mar 7–28 — evenings at 7:30pm and weekend matinees at 2:00pm, with an added evening show Sat Mar 20.
