New York, NY (November 10, 2026) – Last night, the highly anticipated Pulitzer Prize finalist Here There Are Blueberries, opened on Broadway at the Barrymore Theatre. A particularly meaningful curtain call occurred, as four of the real people included in the story: Dr. Rebecca Erbelding, who discovered the album; Judy Cohen, another archivist who played an instrumental role in the advocacy of the album; Sara Bloomfield, the Director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; and Tilman Taube, the grandson of an SS Nazi officer who appears in the album; joined their acting counterparts on stage for a bow. Their presence on stage reminded us that the history explored in the play is not such a distant memory.

Here There Are Blueberries begins with an extraordinary real-life mystery. In 2007, an album of Nazi-era photographs arrived at the desk of a U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum archivist. The photographs weren’t like any that had been seen before. As curators unraveled the truth behind the images, the album soon made headlines and ignited a debate that reverberated far beyond the museum walls.
Based on real events, Here There Are Blueberries tells the story of these historical photographs – what they reveal about the perpetrators of the Holocaust, and our own humanity.
The Here There Are Blueberries creative team includes two-time Tony Award winner Derek McLane (scenic design), Tony Award winner Dede Ayite (costume design), Drama Desk Award winner David Lander (lighting design), Bobby McElver (sound design), OBIE Award winner David Bengali (projection design), Stephanie Yankwitt, CSA (casting director), Amy Marie Seidel (dramaturg), and Erin Gioia Albrecht (production stage manager).
