History remembers Marcel Marceau as the world’s greatest mime. But before the spotlight, he was a young man in Nazi-occupied France, guiding Jewish children to safety with nothing but courage and imagination. In the shadows of World War II, Marcel on the Train reveals the man behind the invisible mask. Co-written by and starring Tony Award® nominee Ethan Slater (SpongeBob SquarePants, Wicked), this inventive new play shows us how, sometimes, the loudest resistance begins in the most quiet places.
The creative team for Marcel on the Train includes Scott Davis (Set Design), Sarah Laux (Costume Design), Studio Luna (Lighting Design), Jill BC DuBoff (Sound Design), and Geoff Josselson (Casting).
