WIESENTHAL MARCH 3 - 6, 2016

The award-winning one man play written by and starring Tom Dugan.

Filled with hope, humanity and humor, Wiesenthal is the riveting true story of Simon Wiesenthal, an ordinary man who did extraordinary things. Nicknamed the "Jewish James Bond," he devoted his life to bringing more than 1,100 Nazi war criminals to justice. Intelligent, funny, flawed and noble, Wiesenthal was a universal hero. His unbelievable dedication and tenacity over decades is honored in this play, which gives equal weight to his wisdom and wit during his long, purposeful life. Tony Award winner Daryl Roth and Karyl Lynn Burns presented the New York premiere of Wiesenthal.
