Holocaust drama presented on campus Oct. 24

George Fox will host a presentation of the Holocaust drama We Are Witnesses at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 24, in the Cap and Gown Room. Admission is free and the public is invited.

Presented by the STAGES Performing Arts Youth Academy, We Are Witnesses is the true account of five Jewish adolescents whose lives are depicted during Hitler’s regime. The story is based on five diaries of Jewish teenagers who died during the Holocaust and is the true account of their lives.

The youth recount how the war affected them and how they saw the world. The play presents their innocence and hope for the future by bringing their diaries alive.

STAGES is based in Hillsboro and focuses on education, offering a variety of theatre classes to children in grades K-12. Classes focus on basic theatre education and include some specialty classes such as musical theatre.
