The Arvada Center hosts one-night engagement "The Mitzvah Project"

The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities will host a special engagement, The Mitzvah Project, a one-person performance and lecture in the Main Stage Theatre on Thursday, October 29, 2015 from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. The Mitzvah Project is a combination of theatre, history lesson and conversation in which actor and child of a survivor, Roger Grunwald, explores one of the most shocking aspects of the Jewish experience during the Second World War. Through the story of Christoph Rosenberg, a German half-Jew, the one-person drama — created with director and co-author Annie McGreevey — reveals the surprising history of tens of thousands of German men known as “mischlinge” — the derogatory term the Nazis used to characterize those descended from one or two Jewish grandparents — who served in Hitler’s army. After the lecture, Mr. Grunwald leads a discussion with the audience. 

Reserved tickets range from $25 - $35 and can be purchased by calling the Arvada Center Box Office at 720-898-7200, online at http://arvadacenter.org/the-mitzvah-project-2015 or in person at the Arvada Center Box Office.
