Alexandra Conroy and Ray Hoese have crafted a stirring piece of musical theater exploring the depth of love and understanding in the darkest of times.
Helena, the daughter of a Nazi officer, falls in love with Ari, a Jewish resistance fighter. Her affection for Ari helps break down the wall of hate she was taught, allowing the couple to create the deepest bond of love. They run away together but are separated in the chaos of war. They finally reunite in New York after the war.
Currently in development for a New York presentation, this special showing features a full cast and a live band followed by a Q &A with the director and the creators. Production directed by Brian Baldwin, a 16-year alum of the Metropolitan Opera; and produced by Broadway veteran, Shavonne Conroy.
