Marlene at Hudson Guild Theatre

Written by Willard Manus, directed by Judith Rose and starring Cindy Marinangel, “Marlene” is a based on a true story. Set in May 1960, the one-woman play takes place when Dietrich returned to the Berlin stage for the first time since fleeing the Hitler regime in the 1930’s. Inside her dressing room at the Tatiana Palast Theater, she weighs whether to go through with the live performance despite threats on her life by Nazi sympathizers who resented her for having spent much of World War II entertaining American soldiers on the front lines. To them, Dietrich is a turncoat; a traitor who deserves to be shot and killed on stage. For tickets, visit brownpapertickets.com/event/3200441 or call 800-838-3006.
