‘Freedom’ to bow at JEF fundraiser tonight

Joyce and Sidney Pulitzer have made the Jewish Endowment Foundation of Louisiana (JEF) a generous theatrical gift. They have bought out the house and donated the performance of tonight’s Southern Repertory Theatre’s production of “Freedom,” a new play by Joyce and three other playwrights, to the JEF.

Tickets to the show are $50.00 each and will benefit the JEF’s funds held in trust for the Jewish community of Greater New Orleans.

“Freedom,” a story of a female Holocaust survivor and a former fighter for the Irish Republican Army was written over several years by Pulitzer with David Seelig and Kitty Greenberg, both of blessed memory. Three years ago Sean Patterson, a local playwright, director and actor was brought into the project and he and Pulitzer have finalized the one act play together.

“Freedom” will be shown at 7:30 p.m. at the Contemporary Arts Center, 900 Camp Street.
