For more than 25 years, Georgia Ensemble Theatre & Conservatory (GET) has a rich history of providing professional and engaging curriculum-driven Theatre for Young Audiences shows to students all over Georgia. We present FamilyStage shows on our home stage at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center for a limited number of performances, while they also travel to schools and community centers. Stay after the performance for a Q&A with the cast!
And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank recounts the story of two childhood friends of Anne Frank and their experiences of hiding, capture and imprisonment during the Holocaust. You'll see video interviews with the survivors, while professional actors portray them on stage. Part oral history, part dramatic interpretation, this powerful multi-media performance has been produced annually at GET since 1997. This hour-long performance will open your heart with curiosity and compassion. This is what live theatre does especially well--moving a big idea like the Holocaust into the realm of personal understanding and connection. Get an inside look at what it was like to live through this significant period of history. After every performance, the artists host a short Q&A to answer questions about the historical events and the process of creating the production.
