| Excerpts from playwright Barbara Lebow’s letter to JCC Board of Trustees
“Fred Sternfeld…did a superb job directing the play. I’ve seen many regional productions; yours was at the top of the list in overall understanding and sensitivity to the material” “If I knew that all productions were being handled as well, I would feel much better about the national attention being given the piece” “I am using your production as an example of what can be done if care is given” Barbara Lebow, playwright, A Shayna Maidel 1990 |
