The great-grandfather of Oregon Book Award-winning playwright Andrea Stolowitz kept a journal for his descendants after escaping to New York City in 1939 as a German Jew. Following the complicated lure of genealogy, Stolowitz goes back to Berlin to bring the story of her unknown ancestors out of the archives into the light. The record keeps as many secrets as it shares; how do people become verschollen, lost, like library books?
“THE BERLIN DIARIES was first produced as a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere by Theatre Lab at FAU (Boca Raton, FL) and Phoenix Theatre Cultural Center (Indianapolis, IN and CenterStage at the JCC Rochester (Rochester, NY). For more information, please visit nnpn.org”
“Originally developed and produced at English Theatre Berlin/International Performing Arts Center (Artistic Director, Daniel Brunet). Further development provided by Orlando Shakespeare Festival, The New Harmony Project, PlayPenn, and New Dramatists.”
