Thanks to the Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company for the complementary tickets so I could review this production for my Artfully Engaging readers. If you end up purchasing tickets, please mention you read this blog so they know to invite me back in the future! In February MJTC will feature Twin Cities favorite Sally Wingert in her directorial debut of The Whipping Man. So, definitely keep your eyes out for more information on that play.

Ticket Information
Aunt Raini
by Tom Smith Directed by Kurt Schweickhardt October 29 - November 20, 2016 Katherine is a young, successful art gallery owner. Joel, her Jewish boyfriend, is a struggling photographer exploring Judaism in his work. When Katherine inherits her great aunt Raini’s original film reels that document Adolf Hitler and the rise of the Nazi Party, Joel and Raini's partner Horst force her to examine whether Raini’s art is inextricably tied to its subject matter or can be judged for its artistic merit alone. Inspired by the life of German film director Leni Riefenstahl. Tickets: $20-34 |
