 ld \nVESELKA:  THE RAINBOW ON THE CORNER AT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD\nNew
  York City's beloved Ukrainian restaurant Veselka is best known for its bo
 rscht and varenyky\, but it has become a beacon of hope for Ukraine.  As 
 the second-generation owner Tom Birchard reluctantly retires after 54 year
 s\, his son Jason faces the pressures of stepping into his father’s shoe
 s as the war in Ukraine impacts his family and staff.\nVESELKA:  THE RAIN
 BOW ON THE CORNER AT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD is the story of New York City
 's beloved Ukrainian restaurant Veselka and its father and son proprietors
 \, Tom and Jason Birchard.  When Jason graduated college without a vision
  for his future\, Tom brings him into the family business.  Jason learns 
 that Tom's dedication to Veselka produces delicious food that satisfies a 
 colorful cast of neighbors and newcomers\, but this leaves little time for
  Tom to be “dad” at work.\nIn 2020\, Jason takes ownership of Veselka 
 from his reluctant-to-retire father.  He has large shoes to fill\, but Ja
 son’s biggest challenge becomes the war in Ukraine.  He is unexpectedly
  thrust into the role of surrogate father to support his Ukrainian staff i
 mpacted by the war.  Jason must explore his past working relationship wit
 h his own dad to “feed” his war-torn team as he keeps his business afl
 oat.\nNarrated by Golden Globe Winner and Little Ukraine native David Duch
 ovny\, VESELKA:  THE RAINBOW ON THE CORNER AT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD is 
 a thoughtful exploration and celebration of family and community\, chronic
 ling Jason’s journey to connect with his loving yet detail-focused dad a
 s he reignites his Grandfather’s pro-Ukraine goals behind his creation o
 f Veselka in 1954.\nFor 70 years\, Veselka has been the vibrant and welcom
 ing heart of the community and now its role\, and Jason’s\, is more vita
 l than ever.\nProceeds from ticket sales will be donated to Razom. Tickets
