Resistance Movement is a play based on the resistance activities of the Helmuth Hubener Group. It tells the true story of three teenagers in Nazi Germany, who feel they must make a stand for truth, regardless of the consequences. They start a resistance group to spread anti-Nazi leaflets through out Hamburg. 15-year-old Rudi is confident they can make a difference, but when the Gestapo arrests them, his faith is severely tested.

 

We often disagree with things going on in the world around us, and wish things were different, but because we feel our efforts will not make a difference, we all too frequently don’t even try. This story from the past is essential for our day, because it reminds us that one person can make a difference, and that standing up for truth and freedom is not only possible, it is essential.

 

Production dates: July 30th in West Jordan & July 31st in Provo.

Rehearsals: TBD, roughly the last two weeks in July.

Compensation: In order to produce this play as a service to the community so that all may attend free of charge, all roles are are volunteer positions. This is a great opportunity to originate a role and be a part of developing a brand new script!
