Show One Productions presents The Vakhtangov State Academic Theatre of Russia at Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre

With a plot full of tragi-comedic moments, accented by soulful music, Smile at Us, Oh Lord is the story of an “every man,” unrelentingly opposed to evil and wrongdoing, even as the world around him crumbles. His journey opens his eyes - and the audience's hearts - to the fate of Jews around the world during the first half of the 20th century. Smile at Us, Oh Lord is based on the novels of Grigory Yaakov Kanovich, one of the most prolific modern Russian-language writers today. It is presented in Russian with English surtitles and performed by an all-star cast of 40 renowned actors.
