Concord Theatricals has acquired worldwide licensing rights in all languages to Mois茅s Kaufman and Amanda Gronich鈥檚 2024 Pulitzer Prize finalist Here There Are Blueberries.
The play follows the discovery of a photo album of Nazi officers at Auschwitz, and the questions those photographs raised about humanity's capacity for evil. It is based on a true story.
The show, created by Tectonic Theatre Project, ran Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop last year. Following two extensions, the play became the highest-grossing production in the theatre's 45-year history. An international tour began earlier this year, and is currently in performances at Berkeley Rep through May 11.
鈥淎t this moment in our collective history, a play about complacency, complicity, and culpability that probes into the conscience of a nation seems not only necessary but urgent,鈥� Kaufman and Gronich said in a joint statement. 鈥淲e are thrilled to be partnering with Concord Theatricals to bring Here There Are Blueberries to theaters, classrooms, and communities around the world.鈥�
鈥淭he team at Concord have long been admirers of the critical work Tectonic Theatre Project does for the theatre industry and for storytelling, in general,鈥� added Amy Rose Marsh, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions and Artistic Development at Concord Theatricals. 鈥�Here There Are Blueberries is a profoundly observant piece about the complex relationship between human nature and unimaginable tragedy.鈥�
