Based on the bestselling memoir, this compelling one-man play explores the transformative power of gratitude, tolerance, and kindness. Set against the backdrop of the Holocaust, it tells the story of Eddie Jaku, a German-born man who, after enduring seven harrowing years in concentration camps, vowed to live each day with a smile, cherishing the gift of life. At 100 years old, he considers himself the happiest man on Earth.

Following its acclaimed world premiere at Barrington Stage Company, this beautifully crafted production, directed by Ron Lagomarsino and written by Mark St. Germain, serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of standing up against hate.
