This multimedia solo show is an exploration of truth and media through the lens of my personal family history, the history of entertainment and news media in the US, and Jewish American assimilation. In this serious of 18 vignettes, I take the audience through different mediums and eras as we try to solve the mystery behind my grandfather's mysterious letters from famed broadcast journalist Barbara Walters, as well as unpack the way we are told a story impacts our perception of it.
