The premiere of CAMP, written and composed by OEATA member and recent CREATE grad:

CAMP, written and composed by Naomi Tessler is a powerful new work that interweaves the lives of two 15-year-old girls: one at a Jewish sleepover camp, the other in a concentration camp. Blending personal history with historical testimony, CAMP explores womanhood, intergenerational trauma, sisterhood and resilience.
