Directed by GSP Artistic Director David Saint, The Last Bridge concerns the life of Holocaust survivor and ballet dancer Barbara Ledermann, whose fair skin and light hair enabled her to “pass” as a non Jew and leave Amsterdam safely. The play focuses on Ledermann’s last few hours with her family and her relationship with a leader in the underground resistance movement. The cast features newcomers Heidi Armbruster, Patch Darragh, Michael Gillis and Monica West. Leah Kreutzer will choreograph. The creative team for The Last Bridge comprises Riccardo Hernandez (scenic design), Theoni V. Aldredge (costume design), Pat Collins (lighting design) and Christopher J. Bailey (sound design). Playwright Kesselman has also written My Sister in This House; I Love You, I Love You Not and The Juniper Tree, and she is presently working on screen adaptations of “The Spy” and “A Separate Peace.”
