You’re invited to take a peek behind the curtain of one of South Carolina’s most influential community leaders, Anita Zucker, in an original theatrical production from students at Charleston Southern University.

“On the Other Side,” which features original writing and performances by CSU students, documents the life, trials, and triumphs of Zucker’s family and how they shaped her journey, from her parents’ survival during the Holocaust to her own rise as an educator and entrepreneur.

What makes this production so unique? Each of the performing students studied both the history and impact of Zucker’s legacy to help tell the powerful story of her parents, Rose and Carl Goldberg, who endured unimaginable hardships during the Holocaust.

“On The Other Side” will premiere at Lightsey Chapel from Thursday, Oct. 23, through Sunday, Oct. 26. Bonus: Sunday’s show features a VIP preshow reception and postshow talkback with the students.
