Curtain 440 Presents Star on My Heart
“The Star on My Heart” is a true story about Holocaust survivor and “I Am a Star” author Dr. Inge Auerbacher. It follows her story before the war in Germany, during her time in the Terezin concentration camp in Prague, and her recovery and struggle with tuberculosis in America after the war.
Auerbacher worked with local director and writer Angela Miloro-Hansen to turn her memoirs of time spent in the Terezin concentration camp into a stage play. This fall, with a revised script and her new production company, Curtain 440, Miloro-Hansen is again presenting the heartfelt story of Dr. Auerbacher’s life.
With a traveling company, performances will be presented at Theater 8:15 in Green on Nov. 8, Lake Erie College on Nov. 15 and 16, Celebration Lutheran Church in Chardon on Nov. 22 and 23, and Berkshire High School on Dec. 6 and 7. All shows are at 7:30 p.m. Inge will be present for the first weekend of performances.
