Okay, I’d never even heard of this place before!  The secret history of Terezin, Hitler’s model “City for the Jews,” is one of the most sorrowful — and surreal — chapters of World War II. Filled with prominent Jewish writers, artists, entertainers and thinkers, the grim citadel was portrayed as a cultural paradise when in fact it was a brutal concentration camp. Signs of Life: a New Musical follows one Lorelei Schumann as this talented art student is deported from her native Prague to Terezin. Once there, her very survival depends upon her participation in the Nazi propaganda effort. Risking her life to tell the truth, she discovers who she is as a woman, a Jew and an artist. Megan Long, one of the Chicago Tribune‘s “Hot New Faces in Chicago Theatre,” stars as Lorelei in this production at the Victory Gardens Theater.  Get tickets for up to 70% off on Goldstar.
