Signs of Life on Stage: Week One

Signs of Life: A Tale of Terezin has been in previews since February 16th. We officially open February 25.

I am so deeply grateful to everyone who made this happen: the producers, the director, the choreographer, the music director, the orchestrator, the creative team, the designers, the production staff, the producing staff, the theatre staff, the crew, the musicians, the house management, the casting director, the technical director, the marketing team, the stage management team, the production supervisor, the press agent, and the amazing cast. And anyone else I failed to mention. It is so profoundly satisfying to see something on stage that is everything you imagined and hoped to would be, and more.

We've had some very enthusiastic audiences. Two, in particular, meant a lot to me.

After the Saturday, 3pm show, two women approached me. They had not spent time at Terezin, but they were both survivors of the Shoah. They explained that they were not sure they wanted to see the show, as they found wanting most efforts to address this subject. But they were both very glad they had seen it. They were generous in their enthusiasm for the show. They said they really appreciated its lack of sentimentality. They cited specific moments that they found deeply truthful.

No matter what happens after we open, theirs is the review that will always mean the most to me.
