Come to Provision’s World Premier of this Holocaust story of love and hope!
Next on the theater schedule for Provision Theater is a World Premiere production of The Hiding Place, based on the Holocaust autobiography of Corrie ten Boom. The show will run from April 7 through May 23. 
The story tells the inspiring tale of Holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom and opens during teh week of the Holocaust Remembrance Day.
With the WWII Nazi invasion of Holland, the ten Boom family joins the underground resistance to help save Jewish families from the Holocaust. But when they are arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps themselves, they’re left with nothing to cling to but their faith.
THE HIDING PLACE, published in 1976, a bestseller, and still in print, is the famous Holocaust autobiography of Corrie Ten Boom who lived through the Nazi occupation of Holland in WWII and formed part of the Dutch resistance in Haarlem. It tells how the Ten Booms smuggled Jews, and others sought by the soldiers, out into the countryside and abroad.
The Ten Boom Family at the beginning of the war
Corrie was able to rescue many Jews from certain death at the hands of the Nazi SS during the Holocaust. Her rescue work can be compared with Otto Schindler, in the film Schindler’s List (taken from Thomas Keneally’s book Schindler’s Ark). It also helps us to understand the background to The Diary of Anne Frank which took place in Holland too. Eventually Corrie and her sister Betsie were caught and sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp. Corrie miraculously survived to tell the tale and help in the post-war reconstruction of Holland and work tirelessly for reconciliation in Europe. Betsie died in the camp, not hating anyone. A powerful and moving story, Provision Theater produces this world premiere adaptation utilizing some of Chicago’s most extraordinary talent.
