“The Violin Maker,” a new play based on the true story of Israeli violin maker Amnon Weinstein who gathered and restored ruined violins that survived the Holocaust, receives its American premiere at International City Theatre beginning this weekend. Check out the photos, below.
Inspired by conversations Rosenbaum had with Israeli violin maker Amnon Weinstein, the International City Theatre in Long Beach is presenting the American premiere of The Violin Maker, a new play based on the true story of how he gathered and restored ruined violins that survived the Holocaust to create the remarkable collection known throughout the world as the “Violins of Hope.” I decided to speak with playwrights Lisa Pearl Rosenbaum and Ronda Spinak (artistic director of The Braid) about the play’s creation and history, especially why it is so important to tell the Violins of Hope maker’s story.
International City Theatre will present the American premiere of The Violin Maker, a new play based on the true story of Israeli violin maker Amnon Weinstein. Learn more and see how to purchase tickets.
