‘Nuremberg’ On the Radio (On Stage)

News
Actors stand before microphones, on stage.
Actors present ‘Judgment at Nuremberg’ as a radio show, on stage, in L.A. Theatre Works production coming to the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, Tuesday, April 18.

Staff and faculty are invited to buy discounted tickets for Judgment at Nuremberg at the Mondavi Center. Not the play or the movie, but Judgment at Nuremberg as radio show, on stage.

This is the April Well-Being Ticket Deal, sponsored by the Staff and Faculty Health and Well-Being Program, and the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts. Each month they offer $10 tickets to a show — in this case the L.A. Theatre Works production of Judgment at Nuremberg, 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 18, in Jackson Hall. A preperformance talk is scheduled at 7 p.m., by UC Davis’ David Biale, Emanuel Ringelblum Distinguished Professor of Jewish History, Department of History.

You have a limited opportunity, April 1-10, to buy the $10 tickets (limit two per person). See ticket purchase details below.

L.A. Theatre Works has been the foremost radio theater company in the United States for more than two decades. Its unique live radio theater-style performances, where a first-rate cast performs on stage with scripts in hand, and a Foley artist creates sound effects, are immediate, spontaneous and create a connection to the audience rarely felt in a traditional theater setting.

One of the great courtroom dramas of the last century, Abby Mann’s Judgment at Nuremberg became an Academy Award-winning film and a stage play that is both surprising and unsettling. This cast of unforgettable characters play out their high-stakes game against the backdrop of a looming Cold War, shifting political alliances and the shocking and vivid memories of the Holocaust and World War II.
