Tabor College to present holocaust production
The Tabor College Theatre Department will present "The Action Against Sol Schumann" at 7:30 p.m. March 3 through 5 in Tabor College Theatre lab.
In the production, two sons of a Holocaust survivor — one a Jewish activist and idealist and one accused of leaving his Jewish past and "assimilating" — discover why their father survived the death camps.
"The play asks us to remember and look again at the Holocaust," said Judy Harder, director. "It asks us to consider the actions and responses of those who experienced the Holocaust first-hand and of those responding to the Holocaust 40 years later, including a Holocaust survivor's sons."
"The Action Against Sol Schumann" raises questions such as: Which matters most — our actions or our reasons for our actions? Do we ever completely know or understand the reasons for our or others' choices? Could we, if faced with similar circumstances, behave like those we judge, even condemn?
The following cast of 10 will present 25 short scenes as characters, narrators, and observers of the action: Dr. Bruce Anthony, associate professor of education; Sam Flaming, Weatherford, Okla.; Rachel Foote, Bethany, Okla.; John Gramza, Olathe; Krystal Kuntz, Abilene; Aaron Miller, Hillsboro; Rachel Pederson, Cimarron; Rebecca Pederson, Cimarron; Jonathan Regier, Hillsboro; and Michael Woods, Wichita.
Tickets are $5 for the general public and $2 for students and are available in the Student Development Office, 947-3121 ext. 1033. Seating is limited.
