Spring Play: The Hiding Place

Corban Theatre Presents…

The Hiding Place

By Bradley Winkler | Adapted from the Book by John & Elizabeth Sherrill

Directed by Tamara McGinnis

“There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.” Corrie ten Boom, a middle-aged, Dutch watchmaker, said this, and she knew what she was talking about.

The Hiding Place play is the ten Booms’ story, starting when they began hiding Jews fleeing from the Nazis, continuing through the family’s incarceration in a concentration camp, and concluding with Corrie’s post war activities. Told against the backdrop of World War II, an example of the atrocities of which man is capable, Corrie’s story shines as a beacon of hope. Her story is not a denial of pain and suffering nor is it a series of religious platitudes. The Hiding Place records the choices of an average family who, out of their love for God, determined they must act. This ordinary family accomplished extraordinary things, taking seriously the idea that evil flourishes when good men do nothing.

Join Corban Theatre as we stage this moving story of love, courage, forgiveness, and hope.

Recommended for ages 12 and up.
