Directed by Rivera-Jim\u00e9nez, the production features Randy Arbujo, River Bey, Zulivet D\u00edaz, PrinceAnthony Hall, Aaron Lamm<\/a>, Polina Lashkevich, Patricia Marjorie<\/a>, Zahyd\u00e9 Pietri, Jerry Soto, and Cassandra Uma\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

Originally written in the 1930s, FEAR AND MISERY IN THE THIRD REICH is structured as 18 interconnected scenes depicting daily life in Nazi Germany as authoritarianism takes hold. Rather than centering on political spectacle, the play examines how fear, surveillance, and distrust infiltrate private life and personal relationships.<\/p>\n

Rivera-Jim\u00e9nez said, \u201cBrecht wrote Fear and Misery in the Third Reich as a warning, not a period piece. Right now in America, that warning feels alarmingly present. Under Trump\u2019s leadership, we\u2019ve watched fear become policy, cruelty become rhetoric, and silence become complicity.\u201d She added that, as a non-binary Puerto Rican director, she feels a responsibility to stage the work now and \u201cto insist that theatre remain a space of resistance, not retreat.\u201d<\/p>\n

The creative team includes scenic designer Anna Grigo<\/a>, lighting designer Emmanuel Delgado, sound designer Jorge Luna<\/a>, props designer Patricia Marjorie<\/a>, and projections designer Gwendolyn Stegall. Rivera-Jim\u00e9nez also serves as Costume Designer<\/a>. Marie-Louise Silva<\/a> Stegall is executive producer.<\/p>\n

Tickets are $27.50 (inclusive of fees) and are available online or in person at the Riverside Church gift shop. The production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals<\/a> on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.<\/p>\n
