Theatre and Physical Theatre
United States
From the creator of 'Eleanor's Story: An American Girl In Hitler's Germany' comes the highly anticipated sequel, detailing life after war. Eleanor managed to survived WWII as an enemy alien in Nazi Berlin, but upon her long-awaited return to the U.S., she sorrowfully discovers that her beloved America is now foreign to her. She yearns for normalcy as she attempts to navigate U.S. high school, haunted by war trauma.

"It reminds us that trauma is not left behind when war ends. It reminds us to have compassion for others and ourselves. At the end, the audience hears the real Eleanor's voice. She explains how she pushed her pain away and tried to move on with her life, but how isolated she felt until she confronted the child inside and poured her onto the page" Sarah Gates, In Daily
