“Wiesenthal,”
written by and
starring Tom Dugan
TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2016
THROUGH APRIL 3, 2016
EVELYN RUBENSTEIN JEWISH
COMMUNITY CENTER,
5601 S. BRAESWOOD BLVD.,
HOUSTON, TX 77096
Filled with hope, humanity and humor, the
one-man play “Wiesenthal” is the inspiring
true story of Simon Wiesenthal (1908-
2005), played by Tom Dugan.
Sometimes referred to as “the Jewish
James Bond,” Wiesenthal escaped death
at the hands of Hitler’s SS, lost 89 family
members and devoted more than six
decades to bringing Nazi war criminals
to justice. Part memoir and part spy
thriller, Dugan’s play introduces audiences
to Wiesenthal on the day before his
retirement as he welcomes his final group
of Americans to his office in The Jewish
Documentation Center in Vienna.
This production is presented by the Evelyn
Rubenstein Jewish Community Center
and cosponsored by Holocaust Museum
Houston.
Admission is $35. For tickets, visit
