SHOW SYNOPSIS

VILNA: A RESISTANCE STORY is an exciting new musical about the inspirational Holocaust story you've never heard—the story of the heroic Jewish resistance fighters from the Vilna ghetto. This musical features characters based on the young artists of the bohemian city of Vilna, who form a secret brigade in the ghetto and find creative ways to resist. Led by a rebellious teenage girl and a young poet, the partisans narrowly escape the Nazis to the forest, where they take up arms and reclaim their beloved city. Through the power of music, their revolutionary spirit lives on. With a vibrant klezmer influenced pop score by composer/lyricist Kevin Cloud and a book by Lisa Kenner Grissom, VILNA: A RESISTANCE STORY is inspired by real life Jewish heroes Vitka Kempner, Abba Kovner, Hirsh Glick, Avram Sutzkever and others. This is a story that needs to be told—and heard!
