Our season opens with Here There Are Blueberries, returning to us as a Pulitzer Prize finalist after its first public workshop at Miami New Drama under the title The Album in our 2017/2018 Season.
In 2007, a mysterious album featuring Nazi-era photographs arrived at the desk of a U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum archivist. As curators unravel the shocking truth behind the images, the album soon makes headlines and ignites a debate that reverberates far beyond the museum walls. Based on real events, Here There Are Blueberries tells the story of these historical photographs—what they reveal about the perpetrators of the Holocaust, and our own humanity.
A 2024 Pulitzer Prize finalist, 2025 Lucille Lortel Award winner for Outstanding Play, and two-time Helen Hayes Award winner, Here There Are Blueberries has been named one of the “10 Best Plays of 2024” by the Wall Street Journal. It was featured on the May 2024 season finale of 60 Minutes and was recently highlighted in The New York Times as one of the top plays to see this spring. Charles McNulty of the LA Times calls it “the greatest detective story ever written.” Described as “riveting… a gripping exposé… compellingly theatrical” (The Washington Post) and “precise & intelligent” (The New York Times), the play continues to resonate with audiences nationwide.
Here There Are Blueberries is written by Moisés Kaufman & Amanda Gronich and conceived and directed by Moisés Kaufman. The national tour of Here There Are Blueberries is a co-production with La Jolla Playhouse, and is produced by Tectonic Theater Project and Brian & Dayna Lee, in association with Bruce Roberts, Sue Vaccaro, and Ricky Stevens.
The Miami New Drama production is made possible with the support of Frank Lowy, Gary Wasserman, Midnight Theatricals, and Michael P.N.A. Hormel.
