Book by Peter Ullian
Music by Joel Derfner
Lyrics by Len Schiff
An unforgettable story of suffering, survival, and the strength of the human spirit, Terezin tells one of the most fascinating and least known stories of the Holocaust. Based on the true story of the Czech ghetto Theresienstadt, founded by the Nazis in 1943 and designated for the intellectual and artistic elite Jews of Europe, Terezin follows the fortunes of a handful of prisoners as they try to understand the truth of their captivity. When the Nazis "beautify" Theresienstadt in an attempt to deceive the Red Cross and sway public perception, the prisoners struggle to expose the truth through art and music — and in so doing, discover the humanity they all share. A remarkable new musical that finds hope amid the heartbreak, humanity and courageous humor amid the horror,
Terezin is not to be missed.
Note: The 2007 presentation of Terezin is a continuation of its development towards mainstage readiness, including enhancements and revisions gained through the Workshop production originally staged in 2006, and is a full scale musical production.
