Theatre Or Presents the Colorado Premiere of "The Last Yiddish Speaker"
In 2029 our country has changed, and the governhment insists on political and religious conformity. Minority groups are not tolerated, and Mary (a smart, ambitious teen) and her father are hiding their Jewish identity and living in upstate New York as Christians. When an elderly Yiddish-speaking woman suddenly appears on their doorstep, they must decide whether to hide her and risk their own lives, or strive to preserve their Jewish heritage for themselves and for future generations.
