Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company presents "The Last Word"



Directed by Hayley Finn, Resident Director, Playwrights’ Center

with Raye Birk and Skyler Nowinski

Henry Grunwald is an 80-year old Viennese Jew who fled the Nazis and became a successful New York advertising executive. Now retired and nearly blind, he’s determined to fulfill his dream of being a playwright. Len Artz is a student and aspiring playwright who has come to Henry’s office to interview for a job as his assistant. This warm new comedy reveals the challenging world of playwriting as it explores the colliding forces of classicism and modernism and a struggle with fear of failure and the pursuit of dreams.

“unique insight and analysis about the craft [of playwriting]…
Entertaining, and at times hilarious.” Herald Tribune
