Full original event details
The play handles these heavy historical realities respectfully and without graphic depictions, but certain elements may be distressing for sensitive or younger children.
It’s 1943, and life in Copenhagen is shadowed by Nazi soldiers, food shortages, and fear. When young Annemarie Johansen and her sister, Kirstie, learn that the Jewish people of Denmark are being “relocated” to concentration camps, their best friend Ellen Rosen comes to stay — pretending to be one of the family. But when soldiers come knocking in the night, Annemarie discovers that hiding Ellen is only the beginning.
What follows is a race against time, as Danish freedom fighters of all ages risk everything to rescue friends and strangers. Annemarie will face soldiers, fierce dogs, and her own deepest fears as she is called upon to take on a dangerous mission — one that will test her courage, her faith, and even her fledgling acting skills.
