WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — ArtsPower will bring its production of “My Heart in a Suitcase” to Purdue University on April 13, 2011.
The 7:00p performance in Stewart Center’s Loeb Playhouse is presented in partnership with Purdue Convocations and the Greater Lafayette Holocaust Remembrances Committee. The performance includes a post-show discussion with cast members.
Based on the autobiography written by Anne Lehman Fox, the play chronicles her escape from Nazi Germany in 1938 on the Kindertransport, a rescue mission that led nearly 10,000 Jewish children to safety throughout the British Isles. It is recommended for children in grades 4-8.
Mark and Gary Blackman founded ArtsPower in 1985 and it is the second-largest producer of theater for young and family audiences in the nation. Nearly seven million people in 46 states have seen its 22 professional touring productions.
