Join us for a performance of Marcel on the Train, co-written by and starring Tony Award®-nominee Ethan Slater ’14! The performance will be followed by a special Q&A with Ethan. Space is limited! RSVP early and no later than February 26.
Best known for playing Boq in Wicked and SpongeBob on Broadway, Ethan plays Marcel Marceau: before being the world’s greatest mime, Marcel guided Jewish children out of Nazi-occupied France and showed that the loudest resistance sometimes begins in the quietest places.
