JEWISH THEATRE ANNOUNCING | GAMES by Tom Dugan
June 14 – June 21 | GRCC's Spectrum Theater

Jewish Theatre Grand Rapids is proud to present GAMES, a powerful true story set against one of history's darkest backdrops.

Two world-class women athletes were poised to win gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Because they were German, the N**i government called them home to compete for the Reich. Because they were Jewish, they couldn't even practice with the German team.

Danira Stanojevic and Michaela Faith, directed by Todd Lewis, bring this extraordinary story to life.
