Nothing Really Happens: Memories of Aging Strippers

Roger Grunwald is an American playwright and screenwriter whose work dramatizes lives tested by war, displacement, and the struggle to reclaim identity. He is the playwright of I Died in Auschwitz, an acclaimed solo stage drama that premiered in San Francisco in 2017 and was revived in a widely praised 2018 San Francisco production. In January 2027, the play will be produced by Marin Shakespeare Company as a springboard for a national tour currently in development. Grunwald has adapted and reimagined the play as a feature-length screenplay, expanding its central storyline and characters into a multi-timeline narrative set in Nazi-era Europe and postwar America. He is also the creator of The Mitzvah Project, a performance-based Holocaust education program built around his short play The Mitzvah, which introduced the central characters later expanded in I Died in Auschwitz. The program has reached more than 30,000 students in 28 U.S. states, Canada, the U.K., and Israel. Grunwald is based in San Francisco.
