A one-woman show about an early 20th century survivor of the Russian pogroms who makes a new life for herself in America. Performed as a fundraiser for current Ukrainian refugees.
Actor and playwright Vicki Summers will perform her one-woman show, Bella, An Immigrant’s Tale, as a fundraiser for Ukrainian refugees on Wednesday, May 25, at The Cabot Theater in Beverly. Summers plays numerous characters as the play follows the life journey of her beloved grandmother, Bella Indianer, an immigrant from Ukraine who escaped the pogroms and made a life in America at the beginning of the 20th century. Originally developed and performed at Cape Rep Theater in Brewster, MA in 2017, Bella, An Immigrant's Tale has toured throughout New England, and to Daytona Beach, Florida and Los Angeles, California where Summers was accepted into the 2019 LA Women's Theater Festival.
All proceeds of the May performance will go to the Ukrainian Red Cross, World Central Kitchen and the International Rescue Committee. Admission is by donation, with suggested donations of $25, $50, or $100 per person. Reservations can be made at thecabot.org. Tickets are also available at the door. Larger donations are needed and welcome.
The event is co-sponsored by The Cabot and Leading Ladies, a nonpartisan organization headquartered on the North Shore and committed to activism focused on social justice issues affecting women and families. Learn more at leadingladiesvote.org.
