Remember This: The Lesson of Jan Karski starring Academy Award nominated actor David Strathairn at Georgetown University May 12-22. Student (free) and General Admission tickets ($20-$55) available.

“Gripping…Starring a virtuosic David Strathairn…” - The Washington Post After acclaimed runs at the Shakespeare Theatre Company and Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Remember This: The Lesson of Jan Karski returns to Washington DC for a limited engagement before making its off-Broadway debut. Academy Award nominee David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck, Lincoln, Nomadland) portrays World War II hero and Holocaust witness Jan Karski in a tour-de-force solo performance that the Chicago Sun Times calls “more timely than ever.” Karski was a messenger of truth who risked his life to carry his harrowing report of the Holocaust from war-torn Poland to the Allied Nations and the Oval Office only to be ignored and disbelieved. Strathairn captures the remarkable life of this self-described “insignificant, little man” whose forgotten story of moral courage and individual responsibility can still shake the conscience of the world. &quot;Transformative theatre [that is] never-to-be-forgotten.” - Chicago TribuneThe show runs 85-90 minutes with no intermission.Learn more on <a href="https://live-globallab.pantheonsite.io/projects/remember-this/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Lab&#x27;s website</a>.This evening&#x27;s performance is a preview, free of charge and open only to students with valid IDs.
