MS Theater presents spring play
Join Middle School thespians May 10-12 as they bring Michael Slade's "And A Child Shall Lead" to Durnan Auditorium.
By Bakari King, MS Theater Director
Come share in the telling of a hauntingly beautiful story as MS theater students present "And A Child Shall Lead" by Michael Slade.
This is the heroic and true story of children coming of age in Terezin, the "Jewish city" established by the Nazis near Prague as a way station before the death camps. In the face of unspeakable horror, these children use their determination and creativity to build lives filled with hope and beauty — playing, studying, making art, and writing an underground newspaper — all at the peril of being executed. Their actual poems and stories are woven into a fast-paced drama, evoking the universality of children caught in the insanity of war.
The show opens Wednesday, May 10 at 5 p.m. and continues with showings Thursday, May 11 at 5 p.m. and Friday, May 12 at 7 p.m. in Durnan Auditorium. Admission is free for USN students, faculty, and staff, and tickets are $5 for others.
