In 1944 Missouri, society has deemed that these two people cannot be in love, and yet love finds a way.

More: Through the experiences of Matt Friedman, one of the main characters who is from Lithuania, the audience learns a lot about the daily lives of Jewish people leading up to the Holocaust. This story may be an impactful way of educating our neighbors, and advocating for our local Jewish community. Burning Coal is founded on the idea of using theatre to provoke thought and dialogue. They also plan to host a talk-back with the audience after the February 7th performances to create room for discussion.
