      THE MESSENGER (World
      Premiere)
      By Jenny Connell Davis
      December 8-24, 2023
         A  meditation  on  the
      connections between past,
      present, and future, and on the
      choice between speaking up
      and speaking out regardless of
      the consequences or remaining
      silent for the sake of self-
      preservation. Inspired by the
      life of Hungarian Holocaust  Jenny Connell Davis
      survivor Georgia Gabor, the
      play interweaves her story with that of a young American woman
      facing racial discrimination in this country in 2020.
