Performed by Pushcart Players. Play adaptation of the book, I Never Saw Another Butterfly. "The Last, The Very Last . . . Butterfly" is a Holocaust remembrance piece designed for young audiences age 10 to adult. Adapted for the stage and movingly underscored with music, sound and visual media, Butterfly is a collection of poems, narrative and drawings created by children who passed through the Terezin Concentration Camp between 1942 and 1944. The broad range of style and treatment of subject matter in both the poems and drawings illustrates the feelings, hopes and dreams of children growing up in a place with "little food, clothing or comfort, enclosed by barbed wire and Nazi soldiers standing guard."
$40 Tickets include copy of the book. $60 Tickets include copy of the book, wine & dessert reception following performance, and meeting the Playwright and Cast.
