THERE'S SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT
The Interpreter raises issues of antisemitism, racism, and historical awareness of the Holocaust.
Thanks to a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, we have subject experts to help process the content of the play. Discussions begin five minutes after the show completes -- we hope you will join us.
