“SHOWING CHARLOTTE” A Play in One Act written by Hagith Sivan, Directed by Penny Weiner
On Saturday, August 22 at 7:30pm, a formal reading of “Showing Charlotte” will take place at Theatre Lawrence. The play is inspired by the life and work of Charlotte Salomon, who lost her life at Auschwitz at the age of 26. Her premature death is a startling reminder of the huge loss of artistic potential incurred by the brutalities of war and genocide. The play is a tribute to all artists and creative minds whose life was cut short. For more information on Charlote Saloman, go here:

Join us for this important event!
