IRT Presents- New Light Theater's Project Hitlers Tasters
IN RESIDENCE: September 18- October 29, 2018

Three times a day, every day, a group of young women have the opportunity to die for their country. They are Adolph Hitlers food tasters. And what do girls discuss as they wait to see if they will live through another meal?  Like all girls, throughout time, they gossip and dream, they question and dance. Deliberately anachronistic, stretching across time to autocracy today, these young women want to love, laugh, and above all, they want to survive.
