SUMMARY:JBM TT presents Number the Stars
DESCRIPTION:During the German occupation of Denmark in World War II\, the Nazis closed down Jewish-owned businesses and began to round up the Jews for relocation to concentration camps for the final solution.

In this stirring play\, young Annemarie and Kirsti Johansen face soldiers\, interrogations\, fierce dogs\, personal danger\, the loss of loved ones and their own fears as they try to help their friend Ellen Rosen escape across the ocean to Sweden and safety. Courage\, faith\, ingenuity and even their fledgling acting skills eventually win the day. All the drama\, pathos\, adventure\, terror and humor that have made Number the Stars a national best seller (and winner of the Newberry Award and the American Library Association Book of the Year Award) come to life in this powerful adaptation. \nPerformance Dates & Times: \nWednesday\, Jan. 28 @ 6:30pm\nThursday\, Jan. 29 @ 6:30pm
