Class Description:
Jewish Theatre Collaborative partners with Oregon Holocaust Resource Center and the Oregon Area Jewish Committee this winter to present Kindertransport 2010.



Performances February 25-March 21, Thursday-Saturday @ 7:30 PM, Sundays @ 2 pm

Kindertransport, by Diane Samuels weaves story of 3 generations of women whose lives are intertwined when 9 year old Eva is sent from Germany to Manchester in 1938.

For JTC, producing this play is anchored in the moral imperative of the Holocaust Never Again; to draw lessons from the Holocaust and broaden the scope of the conversation from the historical to the present. Talkbacks and additional events planned: On March 1st, Dr. Natan Meir will present a lecture on the Vibrant and Diverse Jewish Life of Pre War Europe and the remnants that remained after the war. March 8th, JTC will host The Beirut Wedding World Theatre Project, who will present a reading of Honey Brown Eyes by Stefanie Zadravec about the ethnic violence in Bosnia . And finally, Base Roots, a local African American Theatre Company will present a staged reading of Winter Miller’s In Darfur on March 15th.
