News You Can Use - Upcoming Collaboration
In partnership with Jewish Theatre Grand Rapids, we are thrilled to be presenting Wiesenthal, by Tom Dugan. Directed by Mary Beth, and starring Gary as Simon Wiesenthal, a Jewish Holocaust survivor who becomes internationally famous for relentlessly pursuing and bringing to justice nearly 1,100 Nazi war criminals.
In their season of "Passionate Pursuits", this Wiesenthal biography joins the Nazi hunter as he retires in 2003 giving one last tour before his office in Vienna, Austria is packed up and shipped to Los Angeles, CA to become the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Museum of Tolerance.
The production will be staged at the new Dog Story Theater, 340 State St. SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503 April 16 - May 3, 2026. For tickets and more information, go to jtgr.org.
