[THEATER] A beloved German film star, Alexandra, fights for democracy in post-World War I Berlin; meanwhile, her husband, Franz, becomes a documentary filmmaker for Joseph Goebbels. The Gestapo discover the pregnant Alexandra is one-eighth Jewish. What to do? This is the plot of The Red Dress by Tania Wisbar, based on the lives of Wisbar’s own parents, many details of which were revealed to the playwright many years after her mother’s death. The play premiered last year in Los Angeles; its local premiere was May 31 at New Phoenix Theatre in the Park, where the show will run through June 23. The cast includes Liz McKendry, a Kenmore native who now works in New York City, and local actors Josh Nuncio, Jeremy Kreuzer, Camilla Maxwell, and Pamela Rose Mangus.
