Teshuvah Rehearsal

October 15, 2004 by dennisbaker 

We are winding down our second week of rehearsal, and I am having a great time! Teshuvah (pronounced Chu-vah) is a play that takes place in Poland during the Nazi invasion. A German captain, Erich, holds captive the Polish Countess, Klara. He begins to fall in love with her and Klara must choose between hinding her Jewish friend, Shlomo, or save herself by leaving to Germany with Erich.

While blocking is never the fun part of rehearsal, it has been a great time to get to know my fellow cast members and director. The way this play is written all of my scenes are mainly with Klara, played by Elizabeth A. Hillman. She has been great to work with as she is a very giving actor. The Director, Wendy Gough, and Stage Manager, Suzanne M. Campagna have been great behind the scenes.

This being my first show with the Write Act Repetory and only a member for about a month, it has been a blessing to jump into a cast and crew that is highly professional and talented. The rest of the cast is Ralph Lister as Shlomo, Dana Lyn Baron as Sholmo’s wife Pearl, and Graham Barnard as Klara’s husband Krystian.

Mark your calendars and come see the show. Write Act Repertory, St. Stephen’s Church, 6128 Yucca Street, Hollywood. Opens Nov. 22nd-Dec. 14th & Jan. 10th-25th. Monday and Tuesday nights at 8pm.
