The H-Word Comes to the Arsht Center

 

Frannie Sheridan (co-writer of The Waltonsteins (IRT’96), author of franni_sheridan_388Confessions Of A Jewish Shiksa…Dancing On Hitler’s Grave!) is assembling living stories told by children and grandchildren (or nieces/nephews) of survivors of the Holocaust for a performance project entitled, The H Word. The project features stories of Jews as well as relatives of members of fringe groups such as righteous Gentiles, Gypsies, members of the Gay community, and physically or mentally challenged people who were targeted by the Nazis. The first performance of The H-Word will be produced by Next@19th on April 20, 2013. Join us for a special view into the performer’s studio featuring excerpts of the work and a workshop with Frannie Sheridan.

Please call Next@19th at 305.542.7732 for ticket info and to reserve your place. And mark your calendars for the premiere of the full piece on April 20!

This project is part of the LIGHT/The Holocaust & Humanity Project of the Adrienne Arsht Center.
