The Hiding Place
By George Christison Directed by Darrel Hafner May 6-22, 2022 MATURE THEMES This play is based on the life of Corrie ten Boom, who hid Jews during WWII and ended up in a work camp. It is an emotional drama with a powerful message of forgiveness and finding faith, even in the deepest pit. The Dutch underground arranges for a secret room to be built so that the Jews would have a place to hide during an inevitable raid. It is a constant struggle for Corrie to keep the Jews safe; she sacrifices her own safety and part of her own personal room to give constant safety to the Jews. CELEBRATE OPENING WEEKEND ...In Style!
