The Hiding Place: The Story of Corrie ten Boom

|
|
Norwell
|
|
|
Saturday - Sunday, May 10 - 11, 2013. 7:30 pm. The Company Theatre Centre for the Arts.
The Hiding Place is an inspiring true story of Holocaust survivor Corrie
ten Boom, a spiritually rich, steadfast woman surviving Nazi-invaded
Holland during WWII. Together with her family, Corrie joins the
underground resistance to help save Jewish families. When they are
arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps themselves, they survive
through their continuous faith, and experiences of profound horror. The
Hiding Place is a play aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a
quiet Christian spinster whose life was transformed by it - with joy
and triumph! Difficult themes may not be appropriate for young
children.
