“A MAJORITY OF ONE”
by Leonard Spigelgass

Opening October 23, 2008 with reception to follow
Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm

Multiple award winning company, director, and actors announce their upcoming production of A Majority Of One. The recipient of numerous nominations and awards as both a long running Broadway hit and a major motion picture, this play will be staged by the West Coast Jewish Theatre and will star Paula Prentiss and Sab Shimono as unwitting travelers, whose very different worlds are about to collide.

A Jewish widow from Brooklyn, whose only son was killed by the Japanese during World War II, accompanies her daughter on a trip to Japan where her son-in-law is to negotiate a trade agreement. While traveling, she makes the acquaintance of a very traditional Japanese man. Their relationship begins to complicate matters for the trade agreement…and for both families. The recipient of numerous awards, A MAJORITY OF ONE speaks to us as clearly now as it did when first performed on Broadway in 1959. As it explores the complexities of distrust, tolerance, and even forgiveness, this story holds the hope that love and humor may still survive across a cultural ocean…
