Trip to Theater J to see “Berlin Diaries”
Wednesday, June 18 @ 10:45 am – 4:15 pm
Oregon Book Award-winning playwright Andrea Stolowitz opens the pages of her great-grandfather’s journal to discover a previously unknown genealogy in “The Berlin Diaries.” How do you find home when a family history is scattered like the torn pages of a journal entry released to the wind? Two performers become generations of characters in an attempt to stitch together clues and restore memories formerly lost to time.
Stolowitz searches for clues that propel her forward and backward in time, pursuing a family history formerly lost to war. In a breathtaking journey around the world, what will remain lost and what will be found at the intersection of national history and private lives?
Following the matinee show (2 hours), we will head home after making a stop at the award-winning, Jake’s Ice Cream in Falls Church (not included in cost of trip). This scoop shop employs a staff of adults with disabilities who are dedicated to serving up small-batch ice cream made on site. Please check out their website: https://www.sweetjakesicecream.com.
Please have a late/hearty breakfast before arriving, as we have no time for lunch.
Note: This trip is limited to 21 participants on a first come, first served basis. Tickets are transferable, not refundable.
Bus departs the J at 10:45 AM for DC and returns approximately 4:15 PM
Ages: 18+
