Still the Night
Author(s): Theresa Tova
Two young cousins move from the luxury of pre-war Europe to the clandestine life of Jewish partisans in the Polish Underground during World War II.

The Yiddish and American songs, along with a few original tunes by Alcorn and Tova, are interwoven through the play.
