The Women’s Performance Community of Jerusalem is back on stage with a brand new and exciting historical musical, “WHISPER FREEDOM: The Soviet Jewry Struggle”.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll cheer.
Moscow, 1971. Soviet Jews are rediscovering their Jewish identity and longing for Aliya. The KGB and the Soviet Regime are clamping down – trying to prevent Jewish life from flourishing in the USSR, and rejecting applications for exit visas to Israel.
Amidst this turmoil, a Soviet stage star, concealing her Jewish identity, unwittingly becomes embroiled in this world of Jewish activists, and consequently finds herself in the tentacles of the KGB. She must learn to use her theatrical charisma to free herself and her brethren before the Iron Curtain closes in on her for good.
A joyous, triumphant, spine-tingling musical that honors: the refuseniks that risked their personal liberty for the freedom of their brethren, and their supporters around the world who cried out in unity, “Let my people go.”
