Summary of the play:



A SHAYNA MAIDEL dramatizes the saga of the Weiss family, Polish Jews whose lives are irrecoverably altered by the Holocaust.? It is a memory play in that moves back and forth in time, depicting the birth of Mordechai Weiss in Poland in 1876, the reunion of his two daughters in New York City in 1946, and one daughter's flashbacks of her life in Poland immediately before and after the Holocaust.

The New York Times described A SHAYNA MAIDEL? as "...a powerful, deeply affecting portrait of a family, which conveys the aftermath of the Holocaust through a poignant, imaginatively conceived examination of one divided family's experience. ?A tribute to the sustaining power of family and to man's indominatability."



AUDITIONS FOR THE MALE ROLES WILL BE THIS?MONDAY 6PM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON, GUZZETTA HALL RM 298.
