Starring Frank Blocker as Holocaust survivor Henryk Altman. Co-written with his late partner, Murray Scott Changar, and inspired by interviews with Changar’s father. Directed by Jamibeth Margolis, granddaughter of Holocaust survivors. Produced by Peculiar Works Project.

From his St. Louis den, circa 1986, Henryk Altman relives his tales of surviving WWII and the Holocaust. And not by being good.
Set in St. Louis in 1986, GOOD JEW follows Holocaust survivor Henryk Altman — now simply “Henry” — as he records his extraordinary life story from the comfort of his den. Forced to hide his identity and make impossible choices, Henry survives the Holocaust by navigating a world of danger with quick thinking, false papers, and sheer luck.
With wit, charm, and remarkable resilience, Henry recounts his incredible journey of survival — from escaping the Warsaw Ghetto and breaking free from Treblinka (twice!) to smuggling goods, joining the Resistance, and outwitting the SS across Poland, Russia, Denmark, and war-torn Berlin. After the war, he builds a new life in America — raising a family while never forgetting the past that shaped him.
GOOD JEW is a gripping, suspenseful, and unexpectedly humorous story of survival, identity, and hope — ensuring that Henry’s legacy lives on.
“So real, so vivid. This show is crucial to our times and to future generations. – The Front Row Center
“There will never be enough stories of Holocaust survival, but there are non like Henry’s. “Vivid and detailed”, “Terrifying and funny” – TheaterMania

Forbidden Love: The Love Story of Bobby Darin & Connie Francis tells the tragic love story of two Italian-American music icons, Bobby Darin and Connie Francis. This unforgettable show blends heartfelt storytelling, authentic dialogue, and all of their greatest hits, brought to life with Broadway-quality musicians and performances. Fresh from the Off-Broadway stages of NYC, Forbidden Love stars Westchester’s own Vanessa Racci as Connie and Charlie Romo as Bobby, turning the pages of their autobiographies into a moving theatrical experience filled with true anecdotes, timeless music, and show-stopping talent.
“Together, these two vocalists, with a penchant for the vintage, have created a program that allows them to show off superb vocals and their love for the two star-crossed lovers of their idolatry. – Stephen Mosher, Broadway World ‘23

Both Vanessa and Charlie are strong performers and instead of doing an imitation of Bobby and Connie, they sang and cleverly weaved the story in their own style and drew the audience into the relationship between the two stars.” -Magda Katz Times Square Chronicles ‘23

“Two singer-songwriters sit on the edge of a cliff . . . “ With these words, we are drawn into the world of BOTH SIDES NOW, a theatrical concert that explores the music and lives of long-time friends and one-time lovers, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen.
Created by, and starring Robbie Schaefer and Danielle Wertz, the cabaret-style performance travels decades alongside songs such as ‘A Case of You’, ‘Hallelujah’, ‘Big Yellow Taxi’, ‘Suzanne’, and many more. BOTH SIDES NOW is at once a piece of the 60’s and 70’s, and of right now–offering us a story about the messiness of being human, of lives persistently lived at the edge of growth, and of finding the courage to turn toward one another, again and again.
