From the Studio: Ignite! Community Theater Presents "A Shayna Maidel"

Spokane Public Radio

Guests from Ignite! Community Theatre's production of "A Shayna Maidel" visit the studio to promote their upcoming performances. The play depicts a Polish family separated by war. Mordechai and his oldest daughter Rose are reunited with his younger daughter who survived Nazi concentration camps with her mother, who did not survive. The contrast between the two sisters adds powerful depth to the play. 

Performances take place on Friday at 7:30 PM, Saturday, 7:30 PM and Sunday at 2:00 PM from Friday, April 13th, 2018 through Sunday, April 29th, 2018.
