History Theatre Presents HIDING IN THE OPEN, Opens 2/27

Based on the memoir of Sabina Zimering, Hiding in the Open by Kira Obolensky originally premiered on History Theatre's stage in 2004. Six years later, this true story of sisterhood, survival, and the Holocaust is as breath-taking and important as when it premiered. "This is an all new production, directed by a bright young director [Hayley Finn] with a new perspective on the events of history," points out artistic director Ron Peluso. "It is always interesting to remount a show with a new design team and cast. This team will work with exactly the same script, but these artists are bringing a new and fresh look to the story."

"As the memories of WW II begin to fade with the passing of 'The Greatest Generation' it is important that we not allow ourselves to forget the horrors, the courage, the triumphs, and tragedies of the past," said artistic director Ron Peluso. "While Holocaust survivors such as Sabina Zimering are still with us, History Theatre is proud to present her amazing story of courage and survival. To be sure, this play is still important and relevant to the world in which we live today."

In addition to the performances, there will be several activities and events happening in connection to the show. Details of these events are available below or at www.HistoryTheatre.com
