Straus Home Ranch Presents "After I'm Dead, You'll Have to Feed Everyone"
Date: Sunday, November 6, 2022
Time: 2:00pm
The Rollicking Tale of Ellen Straus, Dairy Godmother
A one-woman theatrical show, written & performed by Ellen’s Daughter, Vivien Straus
Directed by Elly Lichenstein
Produced by Michael Straus & Denise Rocco-Zilber
A daughter’s love letter to her immigrant mother, a European city kid who finds love on a California dairy and emerges as one of West Marin’s iconic environmental pioneers. It's funny, it's sad, it's ridiculous, it's performed in a barn at a farm.
In her portrayal of her mother and best friend, Vivien combines insightful glimpses into Ellen’s formative life events - fleeing from the Holocaust, witnessing racial injustice, and death-bed conversations about chicken salad - along with Vivien’s own whimsical cow-inspired wisdom and poetry. In a 75-minute mad-cap tribute, Straus portrays 11 characters (10 humans and 1 cow).
