About this Event

The final two performances of the NY production of “Janka” will run at Good Company Players’ 2nd Space Theatre in Fresno’s Tower District on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 8th & 9th. Doors open at 7pm, curtain at 7:30pm. These two performances are to honor Janka’s story and thank the citizens of the Central Valley for their enormous support. A champagne reception will follow each performance. “Janka” has toured the world since 2002.

“Janka” is the true story of Janka Festinger, of Sighet, Romania; how she survived Auschwitz and slave labor, how she immigrated to America to begin a new life, and how near the end of her life she finally tells her story. The role of “Janka” is performed by Janice Noga, Janka’s daughter-in-law. It is written by Oscar Speace, Janka’s son, and directed by James Phillip Gates.

Proceeds will support GCP’s Junior Company and the Fresno Cultural Arts Rotary Club’s Polio Plus campaign.

Janka is a production of The Janka Project under the auspices of the Fresno Arts Council.
