Casting opportunities for Waypoint’s fall production

Production Information:

"And Then They Came For Me"  is a unique theatre experience...a multi-media play that combines videotaped interviews with Holocaust survivors Ed Silverberg and Eva Schloss with live actors recreating scenes from their lives during World War II.  Ed was Anne Frank's first boyfriend, whom she wrote about in her now-famous diary.  Eva was the same age as Anne and lived in the same apartment building in Amsterdam.  Her family went into hiding the same day as the Franks.  This is a multi-generational, ensemble-driven production, directed by WTC Executive Artistic Director, Melanie David.
