Could you remain silent about
torture and murder for 63 years? Winner of the United Solo Award for Best Biographical Solo Show, Undesirable Secrets tells the true story of WWII Army medic Anthony Acevedo, a POW who survived Berga, a Nazi slave-labor camp—and was ordered by the U.S. government to remain silent about what happened there.
But the voices of the dead never left him. Finally, he breaks his silence. Written and performed by award-winning playwright and actor Rodolfo Alvarado, this acclaimed solo play brings more than thirty characters to the stage—from American POWs and Nazi captors to the family members and loved ones who shaped Anthony Acevedo’s life. Praised as “worthy of Broadway” and a “gut-wrenching, moving performance that tugs at your soul,” Undesirable Secrets explores survival, prejudice, PTSD, family, memory, and the devastating cost of carrying an unbearable truth alone.

“From the very moment I first heard of The Actors Temple Theatre, I knew it was the sanctuary meant to host Undesirable Secrets. Now that this vision has come to pass, I am profoundly grateful.”
— Rodolfo Alvarado, Playwright & Actor |
