Eleanor’s Story: An American Girl in Hitler’s Germany

SNAFU—PTE – Cherry Karpyshin Mainstage

It’s not common that a ten year old show gets more, rather than less, timely. As Ingrid herself notes, this show isn’t for anyone seeking escapism from the horrors of today. From fascist state violence against minorities to family homes and cities pounded rubble to starvation employed as a weapon, no one would judge you for looking elsewhere. But despite the horrors, hope for the future, of communities coming together to survive and thrive, make this show’s relevance far more than just one of bearing witness to despair.

Utterly fantastic, but to steal Ingrid’s joke, make sure you schedule yourself a comedy after this.
