Howard Pflanzer: Staged Reading of RAUS

Richard Strauss with Joseph Goebbels

We are pleased to note that there will be a staged reading of RAUS, written and directed by Howard Pflanzer, formerly an adjunct professor in the English Department.

Who is RAUS?  Is he a great German composer?  A naïve Nazi collaborator?   Is he a tormented hero struggling to liberate his Jewish daughter-in-laws’ grandmother from the Theresienstadt concentration camp?  Is he a man with a crisis of conscience?  Come and judge for yourself.

Tuesday, May 9 and Wednesday, May 10 at 7:30 PM   

Medicine Show Theatre 549 West 52nd Street, 3rd floor, (10th and 11th Aves)
