Plot Summary:

Based on the book by Lois Lowry
Adapted by Douglas W. Larche

As the German troops begin their campaign to "relocate" all the Jews of Denmark, Annemarie Johasen’s family takes in Annemarie’s best friend, Ellen Rosen, and conceals her as part of the family.

Through the eyes of ten-year-old Annemarie, the audience will watch as the Danish Resistance smuggles almost the entire Jewish population of Denmark, nearly seven thousand people, across the sea to Sweden. The heroism of an entire nation reminds us that there was pride and human decency in the world even during a time of terror and war.

Approximate Runtime: Approx. 70 minutes plus a 10 minute intermission
