WENDY WESTERWELLE DOES IT WELL!
This is must see theater!
How honored Jewish Arts month is to be associated with this production (and don't forget to see Renate Dollinger's beautiful art work on display in the lobby!)
Here is a quote from the Oregonian:
Rose is a complex character. She is Jewish but also an agnostic and somewhat of a mystic. Such contradictions don't bother her as she ponders the pain as well as the wonder of her life. She humorously compares God to a policeman -- never there when you need him and arresting you when you're innocent -- and yet there is almost a predetermined symmetry to her story. The vital artist she loved in Warsaw and with whom she enjoyed American Western films -- is this the aged, crusty, bitter concentration camp survivor with a glass eye she stumbles upon when traveling across the Arizona desert 50 years later? How is she to respond to the horrible truth that just as her daughter had been shot down by a young Nazi soldier, her young grandson shoots down an innocent Palestinian girl? How is one to deal with the horrors and heartbreaks of history?
Perhaps as Wendy Westerwelle's Rose does – -- with humor and awe.
