Here There Are Blueberries + Post-Show Conversation
David Goldman, Chairman, FASPE; Jonathan Lee Walton, President, Princeton Theological Seminary
Sat, 2/8 · 2:00 pm · Matthews Theatre at McCarter Theatre Center
McCarter Theater, Tectonic Theater Project, Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics
McCarter and Tectonic have partnered with the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE), the production’s Content & Conversation partner, to curate a series of post-show discussions with leading ethicists and scholars to discuss the complex issues raised in the play—and consider their relevance for today. Conversations take place directly after the matinee performances on January 26, February 1, February 2, and February 8.
The Next Generation: How Do We Deal with the Sins of Our Fathers? How can seemingly normal people commit horrific acts during weekdays and enjoy family and professional relaxation on weekends? Can evil be compartmentalized? Could the Kommandant of Auschwitz have been a good father to his children—who lived in a comfortable villa a short distance from their father’s office at Auschwitz?
Panelists: David Goldman, Chairman, FASPE and Jonathan Lee Walton, President, Princeton Theological Seminary, moderated by Jill S. Dolan, Annan Professor of English, former Dean of the College, Princeton University, FASPE Board of Directors, McCarter Board of Directors.
