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.
Performance Art
George Gershwin Alone
Pianist and actor Hershey Felder returns with his show about George Gershwin to the Boston stage. I saw it, and was enthralled, ten (or so) years ago when he first performed it in the Boston area, at the American Repertory Theatre. Since then, he has taken it on the road, and has done it 3500 (or so) times – a long road.
