The next Second Stage reading by Moira Blumenthal Productions, a leading Jewish Theatre Company,  is Rob Selzer’s play  ‘The Making Of Sasha Fein’,. a stage adaptation of Anita Selzer’s novel ‘I am Sasha’.

For sixty years Sandy Fein has kept a secret, a secret he is determined will follow him to the grave. All that changes the day he buries his elderly mother and some of her old mementos threaten to expose the truth. At the same time, his grand-daughter, Aviva, persuades him to be part of her family-tree project and picks at the threads of his past as well as the strings of his heart.

​A story of shame, loss, intergenerational ties and the unbreakable bonds of family, ‘The Making of Sasha Fein’ is a beautiful telling of how a dark secret can pull a family apart or bring them back together.

The staged reading will take place at the ARA Darling Quarter Theatre, home of the Monkey Baa Theatre Company, on Saturday November 14. There are two times for theatergoers to choose from – 3pm or 7pm.

The performers will be Toby Blome, Barry French, Felix Johnson, Tim McGarry, Rose Shannon-Duhigg and Claudia Ware. The reading will be directed by Moira Blumenthal.
