The Gathering

In 1985 President Reagan decided to visit Bitburg, Germany to lay a wreath at a military cemetery containing SS graves. The event infuriated the world and in The Gathering almost tears a family apart.

The Gathering opened on Broadway at the Cort Theater in New York City, 2001, starring Hal Linden. It was first produced off Broadway starring Theodor Bikel and Jesse Eisenberg, directed by Rebecca Taylor.

The New York Times raved.."The Gathering..is affecting..thoughtful and provocative filled with humor and warmth, a sure touch for both it's comedy and fierce drama..engaging, potent theater that entertains as it touches the heart and stimulates the mind!.."
