The Ice Front by Eric Samuelsen

  • Birmingham Festival Theatre 1901 11th Avenue South Birmingham, AL, 35205 United States (map)

Director Alex Ungerman

Moving into spring, will bring the powerful, regional premier show, The Ice Front written by Eric Samuelsen. Eric was an accredited playwright local to Utah before his untimely passing. The play tells the story of a group of actors who stage a rebellion at the Norwegian National Theatre at the height of World War II when the German occupation orders them to perform what Samuelsen describes as a “blatantly, horrendously anti-Semitic play.” The play is based on a true story, and it’s one close to Samuelsen’s heart.
