Mr. Hirsch Died Yesterday
by Fred Newman
Directed by Woodie King, Jr.
 This semi-autobiographical work, set in the Bronx of the 1940s, was Fred Newman's first full-length play, originally produced in 1986. Playing with philosophy, theatrical forms and storytelling, Mr. Hirsch Died Yesterday explores human identity and shared history when a Jewish writer named Fred meets an African American woman named Freda and find they share more than childhood memories. Can two people have the same history?Cast: Lindsay Arber, Dana Berger, Debbie Buchsbaum, Lenora B.
