And a child shall lead

by Michael Slade
Directed by ASC Producing Artistic Director Tom Arvetis

October 30 - December 9, 2010

Thirty miles outside Prague lies the city of Terezin, a Nazi-described “Jewish ghetto” and makeshift way station for millions of people awaiting transfer to death camps. Against all odds, a group of courageous children create stories, music, poetry, drawings, plays, puppets, and even an underground newspaper. Incorporating actual poems and other writings recovered from Terezin after the war, this exquisite play explores the strength, optimism and extraordinary resilience at the core of the human spirit.

Recommended for ages 11 and up (6th thru 8th grades).
