RiffRaff NYC presents a return benefit staged reading of Joe Staton's historical drama The List of 34, following a sold-out debut at The RAT NYC.
Directed by Chloe Champken, the special performance will take place on November 24th at 7:30 PM at the NuBox Theatre in Hell's Kitchen.
Based on extraordinary true events, The List of 34 tells the remarkable story of Albert Göring, the younger brother of notorious Nazi leader Hermann Göring. While his brother helped orchestrate the horrors of the Nazi regime, Albert risked his freedom and safety to rescue Jews and others persecuted by the Nazis.
Following the war, Albert was arrested by American forces and forced to defend himself against accusations of Nazi involvement. Armed with a list of 34 people he claimed to have saved, Albert faced the ultimate challenge of proving his innocence while carrying one of the most infamous surnames in history.
A previous staged reading of the play was produced at The RAT NYC to a sold out audience. The cast, now returning for this second reading, features:
Mark Singer as Albert Göring
David Boldt as Hermann Göring
Patrick Troy-Brandt as Major Paul Kubala
Mario DeAngelis as Ensign William Jackson
Fraser Dickson as Major Victor Parker
Kate Theis as Mila Göring.
This evening serves as a fundraiser to help produce the upcoming 2027 international tour of Staton's other original play, Snazzy—based on the true story of his parents founding the renowned face-painting company Snazzy (nominated for Best Production at the 2026 New York Theatre Festival, with plans to head to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Minehead, and Spain).
