  3. "Vilna: A Resistance Story"


“Vilna: A Resistance Story” shares the little-known story of the heroic Jewish resistance movement in the Vilna Ghetto during World War II and the Nazi occupation. A musical of heroic resistance and the fight for dignity by Jewish partisans against oppression, “Vilna” will both inspire and educate audiences. In the musical, 19-year-old Vitka Kempner, headstrong and hellbent on fighting the Nazis, arrives in the bohemian city of Vilna eager to join a resistance movement. But when the local artists dismiss her warnings and are suddenly confined to the ghetto, creative resistance isn’t enough for Vitka, who is determined to do what she came to do: fight back.

“Vilna” marks the first collaboration between The White Theatre and The Culture House.
