The Breman Museum has launched free, three-part play “readings” over the course of the next five months.
A seasoned theatrical team took the stage on July 31 to showcase “Kindertransport,” harkening back to 1939 in Nazi Germany, where a Jewish woman, Helga, is preparing her 9-year-old daughter, Eva, for travel on a Kindertransport, taking her to the relative safety of a foster family in England to escape Nazi horrors. The one-night event featured an all-star cast of professional actors: Wendy Melkonian, Kate Crabtree, Pamela Gold, Kathleen McManus, Gillian Rabin, Jacob York, and Amy L. Levin. The reading was directed by Mira Hirsch.
