Jane Elias's poignant solo play of self-discovery through her relationship with her father, a Holocaust survivor. Written and performed by Elias, with direction by Tracy Bersley, "Do This One Thing for Me" is a soul-stirring story of loyalty and independence.

As she pirouettes through her Long Island upbringing and her rich relationship with her father, Beni, a Greek Jew who survived Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, Elias describes, with both humor and a growing sense of longing, her dilemma at not being able to grant her father's heartfelt wish that he live to dance with his daughter at her wedding.

A love letter to her dad, "Do This One Thing for Me" traces a commitment to fulfill the promise of family even if this might be practically impossible.
