Deepen your engagement with the world premiere musical RUTKA through reflection on the work. In partnership with The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center, join us for a workshop that connects the ideas of the play to those of being an Upstander – a person who exemplifies the best of humanity and uses those character strengths to make a positive difference in the community. This free, multigenerational workshop (ages 12 through adult) will use drama to inspire participants to be an Upstander in everyday life. The workshop is free, but reservations are required.

ABOUT THE SHOW
You’ll never forget her name. A powerful indie-rock musical makes its world premiere in Cincinnati to launch its path to Broadway. Rutka’s world is consumed by the usual teen concerns, like friendships, gossip, a new haircut and the flickers of first love — all of which she documents in her diary. But the world at large is far from usual. It’s 1943 in war-torn Poland, as Rutka and her friends are trying to live life as normally as possible while confined in the Jewish Ghetto. With their futures and fates uncertain, they reach for hope, resilience and resistance. This all-new musical is a compelling drama based on RUTKA'S NOTEBOOK — a publication of the real diary left behind by 14-year-old Rutka Laskier, and a shining example of how even one small voice can make a difference in the world. RUTKA is brought to life by an extraordinary ensemble of young performers and with a raw and emotional sound, promising an unforgettable musical experience.
