  • Tom Erb: Look Away

    "Look Away" is a very interesting play digs into a lesser-known edict of the American Civil War, General Order No. 11. This order, issued by Ulysses S. Grant, led to the expulsion of Jews from his military district, highlighting the precarious nature of freedom and the deep-seated roots of hatred. The play's call for diverse casting is a powerful statement on inclusivity, while the musical elements, featuring a chorus and bluegrass band, enrich the narrative. It's a reflective piece that examines the impact of prejudice on both personal legacies and the fabric of a community. Fascinating read!
