Theatre Ariel is thrilled and honored to be touring Survivors by Wendy Kout to Philadelphia-area schools. This one-act play tells the true story of the experiences of ten Jewish children and teenagers in Europe during the Holocaust. It is a tale of resilience and persistence in the face of bigotry, xenophobia and violence. Even as it recounts the past, the stories of these survivors resonates in the present. Survivors reminds students – and us – that hatred is never OK, that we must never take our freedom for granted, and that we must fight to maintain our dignity.
