World Premiere Directed by Sacha Reich and adapted from Chaim Potok’s novel by Sacha Reich and Jamie M. Rea.
Synopsis
In the stormy melting pot that was 1930s’ New York City, a young girl comes of age and finds her voice. You’ll meet her for the first time when the curtain rises at the world premiere of Davita’s Harp (based on the book by Chaim Potok). It is within the context of her communist parents, a missionary nurse aunt, a mystical story writing “uncle” and orthodox cousins, that Ilana Davita discovers who she is and chooses who she will be. The beloved book comes to life and its heroine self-actualizes before your eyes in a powerful portrayal of how “the village” impacts individuals.
