Jewish Plays Project Reading for International Holocaust Remebrance Day

An unusual portrait’s theft and its travels around the world. Canvas. Pencil. Paint. How can one piece of art tear at the hearts of generations?

Provenance is a suspenseful uplifting play about the life of a sensual, unusual portrait from its beginnings in early 1900s German society, through its theft by the Nazis and its subsequent travels around the world. The play is La Ronde-esque, with actors playing multiple roles.
