Presented at The New Hazlett Theater ad based on the Book Perseverance: One Holocaust Survivor’s Journey from Poland to America by Melvin Goldman and Lee Goldman Kikel

Adapted by L.E. McCullough

Directed by Art DeConciliis

Media Design by Scott Andrew

The world premiere of Perseverance brings to the stage a powerful memoir of healing and renewal. Few visitors to the G&S Jewelry Store in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood during the 1960s and ’70s were aware that the cheerful proprietor, Melvin Goldman, had spent his teens enduring the horrors of Auschwitz before arriving as a penniless refugee in postwar Pittsburgh intent on reshaping his family’s destiny and replacing Darkness with Light, one shop patron at a time.
