Alternatively, they may create their own recordings and may condense IRVING’s monologues, as needed, to synchronize the corresponding pantomime on stage.

Playwright Notes

As the granddaughter of holocaust survivors, Judaism has always been a large part of my identity. After my own decade of trauma, (https://amyoes.com/tedx) it empowered me with the will to survive. 

My grandparents' legacy is extremely important to me, and I am honored to share their story. The story of how they came to America after the war and started one of the most successful corporations on the Lower East Side is my definition of resilience, resourcefulness, and courage.
