The evocative work of Jewish culture was praised and criticized for taboo themes of censorship, immigration and anti-Semitism. Inspired by these events and the controversy, Pulitzer Prize award-winner Paula Vogel tells the behind-the-scenes story of artists who risked their careers and lives to perform a work deemed "indecent." This Tony award-winning play filled with music and dance is a testament to the power of art. See this production at Arena Stage now through December 30. | | Friday, November 23 Exhibit - Bound to Amaze National Museum of Women in the Arts Exhibit - Over Here & Over There: Aviation & Prince George's County During World War I College Park Aviation Museum Exhibit - Shane Pickett: Djinong Djina Boodja (Look at the Land I Have Travelled) Embassy of Australia Exhibit - 50 Years After Whitney M.
