WEISENTHAL Riveting One-Act Theatrical Performance Presented at the Grand

The Grand 1894 Opera House presents writer and actor Tom Dugan in the one-act, off-Broadway theatrical performance, Wiesenthal, on Saturday, January 14, 2017 at 8pm.

Filled with hope, humanity and humor, Wiesenthal is the riveting true story of Simon Wiesenthal, an ordinary man who did extraordinary things. Having survived multiple concentration camps during World War II, Wiesenthal devoted the rest of his life to bringing more than 1,100 Nazi war criminals to justice. Wiesenthal received the U.S. CongressionAl Gold Medal from President Carter, the first of multiple decorations from many nations, including an Honorary Knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.

Intelligent, funny, flawed and noble, Wiesenthal was a universal hero whose unbelievable dedication and tenacity is honored in this play. Tom Dugan's portrayal gives equal weight to Mr. Wiesenthal's personal wisdom and wit, both of which fueled his long and purposeful life. "Heartfelt & Deeply Moving!" (Huffington Post)
