The Night Witches

by Rachel Bublitz
DeWitt Studio Theatre

Nina and Vera have finished their training as navigators and will fly their first combat mission against the Nazis tonight. The Russian women of the all female, 588th Night Bomber Regiment, welcome the newbies to the front and help prepare them for what鈥檚 ahead. However, their enemy has a new tactic up their sleeves that will take everyone by surprise. Nicknamed the 鈥渘ight witches鈥� by the Germans, the women flew in planes made of canvas and wood, dropping bombs on the Germans every fifteen minutes through the night to keep their enemy from sleeping. Using movement, song and poetic dialogue, The Night Witches celebrates women鈥檚 courageous military service during World War II and beyond.

You for me for you

by Mia Chung
DeWitt Mainstage Theatre

When Minhee and Junhee, two dedicated sisters struggling to survive in North Korea, find themselves in trouble with the authorities they make a mad dash to cross the border to freedom. But only one sister makes it. While Junhee learns to navigate the fast-paced, and often bewildering culture and language of New York City, Minhee enters a dream-like authoritarian world, where ears grow on trees and double speak is the only hope for survival. Join us for a powerful story of sisterhood, filled with beautiful imagery, surprising humor and hope.
