Mirage Theatre Company presents Distant Survivors, a work of dramatic fiction based on
the Holocaust poetry of William Heyen, on Saturday, April 26th at 8:00
pm and Sunday, April 27that 3:00 pm at the Jewish Community Center/Hudson
Valley Community Center in Poughkeepsie, NY. The play confronts the evil that was the Holocaust and, more
importantly, combats the rising chorus of Holocaust deniers who seek to
minimize and, in some cases, erase the mass murder of over six million Jews and
millions of others from history, The ignorance and hatred that fueled
the Holocaust is still with us today, and only by exposing the horrors of the
past can we hope to prevent such a tragedy tomorrow.
The cast features Matthew Bahl, Ralph Cashen, Lewis Gardner, Phillip X Levine and Linda Roper. The play is directed by June Prager and is based on the Holocaust poetry of William Heyen.

Sea MarksIrish playwright Gardner McKay’s romantic comedy predates email, cell phones, and Match.com; it’s a world of slow mail and slow courtship. It’s about personal identity and how technology, ambition, and city life has affected the quality of life for most of us.
