A Shayna Maidel

City Lights Theater Company of San Jose presents A Shayna Maidel, by Barbara Lebow.

Rose Weiss leads a comfortable life in Brooklyn in 1946. But when her older sister Lusia, missing for years in Poland, is at last located, Rose’s life changes drastically. When Lusia arrives, each sister must look inside herself to find the connections to the family she thought she had lost. Moving deftly between post-war America and pre-war Poland, award-winning writer Barbara Lebow’s haunting play is a heartfelt look at one family’s experience of loss, hope and reunion.
