Just before the start of World War II, Nicholas Winton organized trains to transport Jewish children out of Czechoslovakia to England known as the kindertransports. During this tragic time, some Jewish families had to make a grievous choice: send their children away to safety, knowing that they may never see them again, or keep the family together and risk ultimate peril under the Nazis. This drama explores one family’s experiences with the growing tensions in the region and the difficult choice they have to make in order that their family might still have a small hope of survival. This award-winning play is perfect as a competition piece or as a thought-provoking one act.

Tech week. It’s sort of like trying to hit a homerun with a tennis racket. This tech week is especially challenging because the techies chose the play, Cats from Mars. Broken props and hyper-caffeinated techies are only some of the problems. The other human factors in this play, called actors, introduce chaos: the newbie breaks the laser gun (affectionately named Katniss), the prima donna badmouths the costumes, and the alpha male lead destroys the fog machine in between spates of directing advice. Meanwhile, the director desperately tries to hold the production together while desperately, desperately wishing for a baseball bat. We directors ask it every time: Is there any hope for this show?
