Crafted from the actual testimonies of Rochester-based Holocaust Survivors, CenterStage Theatre and the Louis S. Wolk Jewish Community Center of Greater Rochester commissioned this new play to put a human face on this important time in history. A cautionary tale on the risks of normalized hate, this inspirational and uplifting play ensures that the voices of our Survivors will never be silenced.
SURVIVORS is available for tours to middle schools, high schools, colleges, and community organizations.
The play is also available for licensing.
TYKEs is a proud member of TheatreROCS.
