Class Acts -"My Heart in a Suitcase"
This is a reminder to all that we have a Class Acts show coming up November 18th called - "My Heart in a Suitcase" (see description below). As we have received inquiries to include 7th and 8th grades, we have decided to open the show to these two grade levels. There is still good seating available, so please make your reservations now!

Please see the description below:
Anne Lehmann and her family no longer feel safe in their Berlin home. Life in Germany is deteriorating quickly; in order to protect their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Lehmann may have to say goodbye to her forever. Now Anne must struggle to bring meaning out of despair, to cling to love and hope even in a world that seems to be filled with hatred and violence.
The result is a gripping and poignant production, a tribute to the strength of the human spirit. ArtsPower hopes to touch the hearts and minds of old and young alike by adapting a survivor's story, to inspire audiences to read and learn more about the Holocaust by weaving an emotional bond through art.
As they show young people what happened in Germany and in other occupied nations prior to and during World War II – and how a heroine survived thanks to her own courage and the generosity of others – ArtsPower will teach them the importance of combating intolerance. The ultimate goal is to motivate children not only to appreciate reading and the theatre but also to love and respect all their fellow human beings.
