PERFORMANCES:
HP&P will reprise the touching musical, “Number the Stars,” March 5 through 28. Based on the Newbery Award-winning book by Lois Lowry, “Number the Stars” provides a moving insight into the courageous efforts of the Danish people to help their Jewish neighbors flee the Nazis during World War II. Founded on fact and embellished with fictional characters, the story is set in 1943 Denmark. It tells the tale of 10-year-old, her best friend, and their families as they worked bravely together to escape to freedom. Composer Sean Hartley transformed “Number the Stars” into a gentle musical, which HP&P traditionally and proudly performs each spring. Daytime performances will be given for school groups, and two evening performances have been added due to popular demand. A brief question and answer session with the actors will follow each show.
Performances will take place at 10:30am and 12:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays March 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21, 26, and 28. Wednesday evening performances will be given at 7:30pm on March 6 and 20. Tickets cost $12 ($6 for children). School groups, organizations, and individuals are all welcome. Call the box office at 856-429-8139 for reservations.
