Concert Performance
Wonder of Weird

Adapted and directed by
Hershey Felder
With Mona Golabek

A riveting account of the real-life experience of the talented pianist Lisa Jura – the mother of the performer, Mona Golabek – who grew up in Vienna and was saved from the Nazis in 1938 by means of the kindertransport which at the eleventh hour spirited 10,000 Jewish children abroad.
