Libby Skala, winner of the London Fringe’s Best Solo Performer Award, in her new solo show IRENA SENDLER: RESCUING THE RESCUER, a heroic intergenerational story about the power of one person to effect change in the world. Music is composed and performed by Steve May.
Through a kaleidoscope of characters, Libby Skala brings to riveting life the true story of Irena
Sendler, a Polish Catholic social worker who defies Nazi rule to organize an underground network that
successfully rescues 2,500 Jewish children from certain death in the Warsaw ghetto during WWII. For
decades, her heroism remains hidden behind the iron curtain. In 1999, three Protestant high school
students in rural Kansas stumble upon a brief mention of her in an old magazine clipping. Their
curiosity evolves into an award-winning National History Day project, bringing Sendler to international
attention. It propels them across the ocean to Poland, where they befriend the elderly Irena and learn
first-hand how one person “answering the need of her heart,” can impact history.
