Tuvia Tenenbom
LAST JEW IN EUROPE
Sundays & Saturdays @ 3pm
Mon. & Wed @7PM
Open Run
TRIAD Theater

LAST JEW IN EUROPE is an absurdist "dramedy" about the resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe. The setting is Lodz, Poland, the time is today. Written, and now also directed, by Tuvia Tenenbom, the Jewish Theater's Artistic Director, LAST JEW IN EUROPE explores the under currents of racism and the overtones of assimilation. LAST JEW IN EUROPE previously played to sold-out audiences in New York during last season's successful run. The former production, having been staged in a traditional theatrical format is re-opening at the Triad with a new postmodernist direction. Drawing from its previous success, LAST JEW IN EUROPE will forgo the stage altogether. All the action takes place among the audience. This will allow New York theatergoers the ability to transform into the Lodz residents and experience LAST JEW IN EUROPE from inside the skin of the characters.

Tickets: $55.00 ($20.00 students with valid ID) tickets available at TheaterMania.com. www.JewishTheater.org 212.494.0050
