Everyone is invited to St. Patrick Church in Shieldsville for a Curtain Call/Child’s Play Theatre ALL YOUTH production of “I Never Saw Another Butterfly” this Saturday, March 28, at 7 p.m. A light supper will be served from 6-7 p.m. Play description: Over 15,000 Jewish children passed through Terezin, Czech Republic, and only about a hundred were still alive when Terezin was liberated at the end of the war. One of the survivors, Raja, having lived through it all, teaching the children when there was nothing to teach with, helping to give them hope when there was little enough reason for hope, creating a little world of laughter, of flowers and butterflies behind the barbed wire, tells the true story of the children. It's her play and it's theirs. There were no butterflies at Terezin, of course, but for the children, butterflies became a symbol of defiance, making it possible for them to live on and play happily while waiting to be transported from this holding area to Auschwitz.
