The world premiere of a new play by 2015 playwright in resident and Oregon Book Award winning playwright Andrea Stolowitz

In 1936 Dr. Max Cohnreich escapes Berlin, Germany and arrives in NYC settling there with his immediate family. In 1939 he writes about his experiences in a diary intended for his as yet unborn grandchildren. In 2015 his great-granddaughter Andrea Stolowitz travels to Berlin to use the diary to explore the life he describes and the relatives she never knew. The parallel lives of the characters create a narrative about the search for home and family which operates at the border of reality and memory and the intersection of national history and private lives.

Berlin Diary: (Schlüterstraße 27) was supported through a 2014-15 DAAD faculty research fellowship, a year-long residency at English Theatre Berlin | International Performing Arts Center and grants from the Oregon Arts Commission, The Regional Arts and Culture Council, The Checkpoint Charlie Foundation and the U.S. Embassy in Berlin. The play was developed at the New Harmony Project (Indiana) and PlayPenn (PA). It was presented as a staged reading at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia in 2016.
