Director's Note

 

Stories of survival in the darkest of times have always intrigued me, I aspire to be like those who bring so much light when tragedy strikes. Dr. Korzak inspired all who were knew him or jjust met him; his stories and history continue to inspire. I am forever grateful to this group of students who trusted my direction and vision, they are true artists.  I am nothing without them.  May we never forget, and may we honor those whose stories we are so honored to tell. The events in our play are true and some times sad, but to me the more important take away is the hope that one man gave to children who otherwise would have been lost. Stories worth telling and remembering.

“I exist not to be loved and admired, but to love and act. It is not the duty of those around me to love me. Rather, it is my duty to be concerned about the world, about man.”
― Janusz KorczakWarsaw Ghetto Memoirs of Janusz Korczak
