# Event Details - **Event Name**: "Eleanor's Story: Life After War" @ Winnipeg Fringe - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 17 Jul, 2026 at 02:15 pm – Fri, 17 Jul, 2026 at 03:15 pm - **Event Description**: ★★★★★ “A captivated full-house audience went from tears to breath held in suspense to roaring laughter.” - Edmonton Journal 20-time award-winning theatre-maker Ingrid Garner returns to Winnipeg Fringe with a fascinating, standalone sequel to her grandmother Eleanor's best-selling memoir, "Eleanor's Story: An American Girl in Hitler's Germany". “EXCEPTIONAL" - CBC ★★★★★ "Riveting" - Winnipeg Free Press ★★★★★ "Digs Deep" - Global News Canada ________________________________________________________ SHOW DESCRIPTION (60min)(Recommended for Ages 14+) "Eleanor’s Story: Life After War" follows teenage Eleanor’s return to the U.S. in 1946, after surviving WWII as an American enemy alien trapped in Berlin. Finally home, her attempts to assimilate into a society untouched by war leave her feeling like a foreigner, echoing the struggle of modern refugees caught between difficult memories and the routine of daily life. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder serves as a theatrical device to contrast a plentiful America with Eleanor's flashbacks of a ravaged Germany. Despite her newfound safety, an innocent sound or word can trigger a terrible recollection. The performance offers a fascinating look at the intricacies of coping with trauma, survivor’s guilt, family separation, and culture shock. 80 years later, Eleanor’s granddaughter brings this extraordinary history to life in a dynamic performance accompanied by cinematic sound and lighting. With nuance and wit, Ingrid seamlessly embodies her ancestors to deliver a timely coming-of-age odyssey. The war may be over, but the battle within has just begun. *It is not necessary to have read the book to enjoy this sequel. ________________________________________________________ WINNIPEG PLANETARIUM 190 Rupert Ave, Winnipeg, MB (Enter on Main St.) Wednesday, July 15 - 7:30pm Friday, July 17 - 2:15pm Saturday, July 18 - 1:00pm Tuesday, July 21 - 8:00pm Wednesday, July 22 - 12:30pm Thursday, July 23. - 4:00pm Saturday, July 25 - 9:30pm Sunday, July 26 - 1:15pm TICKETS eleanorsstory.com - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/winnipeg/eleanors-story-life-after-war-winnipeg-fringe/200030417529325 - **Event Categories**: art, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Winnipeg - **state**: MB - **country**: Canada - **location**: Winnipeg Planetarium - **lat**: 49.900292036269 - **long**: -97.136860560048 - **full address**: Winnipeg Planetarium, 190 Rupert Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3B 0N2, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: "Eleanor's Story: Life After War" @ Winnipeg Fringe - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/29356e82865d97f85a144fcfda9eda5046b13475f0a9c0253d9c330fa6732480-rimg-w1200-h675-dc323331-gmir?v=1784302044 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is "Eleanor's Story: Life After War" @ Winnipeg Fringe being held? - **A:** "Eleanor's Story: Life After War" @ Winnipeg Fringe takes place on Fri, 17 Jul, 2026 at 02:15 pm to Fri, 17 Jul, 2026 at 03:15 pm at Winnipeg Planetarium, 190 Rupert Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3B 0N2, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing "Eleanor's Story: Life After War" @ Winnipeg Fringe? - **A:** "Eleanor's Story: Life After War" @ Winnipeg Fringe is organized by Eleanor's Story: An American Girl in Hitler's Germany. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
