A Holocaust survivor, Leah, moves to Hollywood and creates a TV show featuring “funny Nazis” which has proven popular (as well as offensive to many). She tells her story in a synagogue as part of a lecture and discussion series, during which she remembers a special relationship she forged in the concentration camp, and the price she had to pay for survival on her own terms.

A Crucial Stagesustainable theatre and climate change
Twelve years ago Al Gore released the world’s most successful documentary ever, “An Inconvenient Truth.” Since then, climate change discussions have moved from the fringe to the center of public consciousness as the pace of global warming has increased exponentially.
This short pre-show presentation looks at the current state of climate change and questions how theatre may play a role in overcoming the most challenging existential threat our species has ever faced. Facilitated by GFTF Director and Climate Reality Project Leader Tom Burmester. |
