Threshold at Main Stage Theater, Southern Oregon University

By Stephanie Fybel. Respected appellate judge and Holocaust scholar David Lewin nears the end of his life, slipping in a morphine haze between the present and ghostly visits from his parents in their younger forms, fleeing Nazi Germany and Lithuania in the late 1930s. As he's drawn into the past, he confronts the work of his own lifetime: exposing how the German legal system enabled tyranny and asking what history demands of us today.
