Based on historical events, the play explores themes of sexuality, patriotism, and survival during wartime. The work received the 2017 Susan Glaspell<\/a> Award and was named \u201cBest of the Fringe\u201d by The Stage following its 2019 run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.<\/p>\n \u201cI understand that some people are triggered by the name, Hitler. I am too,\u201d said playwright Michelle Kholos Brooks<\/a>. \u201cHowever, as a Jewish woman, I am more terrified by what I’m currently seeing in the world around me than I am by a name\u2014albeit the worst name. H*tler’s Tasters is a play about many things but, most importantly, it is a play about the dangers of complacency.\u201d<\/p>\n The production marks the directorial debut of ThinkTank veteran Georgios Tsambis.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the end of the day, these are just girls,\u201d said Tsambis. \u201cThey have crushes, they dance, they take selfies, play dress-up, and gossip\u2014and at the same time, they live with the fear they might not survive the day.\u201d<\/p>\n The cast includes Madalyn Macko as Hilda, joined by members of ThinkTank\u2019s Young Artists\u2019 Ensemble Company: Yara Amani as Margot, Erin Gordon as Anna, and Ava Zientek as Liesel.<\/p>\n Creative Team<\/p>\n The production is directed by Georgios Tsambis, who also collaborates on costume, set, and sound design with Producing Artistic Director Georgia Mallory Guy<\/a>.
