human spirit. “My family’s history is inter-
twined with the Holocaust,” says director
Maureen Mansfield of Farmington Hills.
“When I first read A Diary of a Young Girl
by Anne Frank, it helped me understand
what my family had been through. It
somehow made me feel closer to them.
Growing up, I was always told that it was
our job, as Jews, to spread the word of
the Holocaust,” she adds. “I believe that
anyone involved in the production of
this show is doing a mitzvah by telling
a story about that horrendous event.”
Featuring Amy Cassell as Anne, as well
as Gary Weinstein, Jared Kovacs and
Laurel Stroud. Feb. 12-Feb. 28. $14-$16.

coming. (Sad to say, Ben’s father, Jerry
Stiller, who played the hilarious agent

unofficially retired. Ben’s mother, Anne
Meara, died in 2015).

Vinyl, which begins on Feb. 14, is about
the world of rock and roll in the 1970s
and it’s probably the most highly antici-
pated HBO series since Game of Thrones.
The star, Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk
Empire), can be a great actor in the right
role — and this looks to be such a role.
He plays a record exec looking to revive
a label. Paul Ben-Victor, 50 (The Wire), is
a regular cast member. He plays Maury
Gold, a slick record company owner. Also,
it appears that Italian-American actors
Max Cassella and Ray Romano (who
aren’t Jewish) are playing regular char-
acters who are supposed to be Jewish.
Also, look for Andrew “Dice” Clay, 58,
in recurring role Frank “Buck” Rogers, a
cocaine-fueled owner of a chain of radio
stations.
