WHAT A WONDERFUL GROUP OF PERFORMANCES IN BANGOR, MAINE. We send a big thanks to Allison Berube and her fantastic committee for hosting three Life in a Jar performances. Peter Witt, the incredible Norman Stern, Kathryn King and too many others to name, were a part of this beautiful event.
The audience was large for each performance, and the response was tremendous. We love Maine and the beautiful coastline. More than that, we love the people who put together this great series of shows.
Our cast had some new members, but the story of Irena and Life in a Jar is still the same powerful story.
Mary Kerr did a wonderful job with the orphan role. Erin Simons just keeps getting better and better as Mrs. Rosner. Addi Brown played Marie for the first time and took care of the sound. Mary and Noah Fischer were outstanding yet again. Mary Fischer also played Irena for the first time. Megan Stewart Felt missed her first performance out of 347 in sixteen years!!! As most of you know, she is expecting a little boy in early January.
We receive a request per week for performances, but our volunteer troupe can barely make four or five trips per year. The continued demand for performances is a testimony to the incredible stories of Irena and Life in a Jar.
WE WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVEN IN A WORLD OF TURMOIL AND TRIAL. IF IRENA WERE ALIVE, SHE WOULD REMIND US ALL THAT WE CAN BE THANKFUL FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO CHANGE THE WORLD. TIKKUN OLAM TO OUR MANY FRIENDS ALL OVER THE WORLD. IRENA’S STORY BY PERFORMANCE, BOOK AND MOVIE
