From Robert Mendel - The newly renamed Litowitz Center for Enlightened Disagreement , the "Lovers and Madmen" Board which endured the "Assasins" episode, and all of the StuCo Student Theater Boards should look at this show as an example of how difficult issues and edgy theatrical material is so important to fearlessly take on.  This NU and Arts Alliance Alum is an example of Artistic Bravery!

A cri de coeur from author/performer Sandra Laub, wrestling with characters like Golda Meir and a Palestinian mother of martyrs, to make sense of the insane horror of October 7th. Can a progressive Jewish woman reconcile her Zionist heart with her liberal conscience? This tour de force, many-voices solo show, dares to ask for peace while grappling with war, whose antecedents and repercussions continue to shape our world. Hailed as a remarkably balanced and compassionate portrayal, the play respects the facts while standing firmly on personal, humanistic ground.

I showed Sandra Laub this website, telling her that I created it to encourage "braver" student theater at NU, and this was her reply: "That’s fantastic, Rob! Yes, braver theater. Wrestling with uncomfortable ‘truths’ ; a new gen that must sift through so much propaganda, fake news and concocted algorithmic manipulation it must be difficult to find their own unique voice. Yours cries from the wilderness with such strength gleaned from experience"
