The Dalton Little Theatre’s season continues with the May opening of “And a Child Shall Lead.”
This compelling Michael Slade work is directed by Josh Adler and features a talented cast of young performers. Together they share the heroic and true story of children coming of age in Terezin, the “Jewish city” established by the Nazis near Prague, as a holding/waystation before the death camps of World War II.
In the face of unspeakable horror, these children use their determination and creativity to build lives filled with hope and beauty, playing, studying, making art and writing an underground newspaper, all at the peril of being executed. Their actual poems and stories are woven into this fast-paced drama, evoking the universality of children caught in the insanity of war.
Evening shows are at 7 on May 10-11 and 17-18, with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. on May 12.
Tickets are available at www.daltonlittletheatre.com.
