On January 19, 20, 26, & 27, Mason High School Theater will present AND A CHILD SHALL LEAD by Michael Slade. Show time is 7 pm each day with an additional afternoon performance at 2pm on Saturday the 20th. We invite senior citizens to attend our final dress rehearsal on January 18 @ 7pm free of charge. The play is produced by special agreement with Playscripts.com.
AND A CHILD SHALL LEAD by Michael Slade 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 is rated PG-13 for some adult situations, language, and tragic moments. It is best suited for theater goers middle school aged and up. General Admission Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for students, children, and seniors. Reserved patron seats are also available for $15. Purchase your tickets here.
