“I Never Saw Another Butterfly,” based on a play by Celeste Raspanti and directed by Sharon Ohrenstein, is a family-friendly, one-hour play is based on the true story of the children interned at the Terezin concentration camp during WWII. Over 15,000 children passed through Terezin’s gates; only about 150 survived. Irena (Lynne Doyle), a dedicated teacher, gives the children, including Raja (Nyla Chambless) and Honza (Declan Moyer), the courage to write and draw descriptions of their lives in the camp along with their hopes and dreams. Inspired by the extraordinary book of artwork and poetry created by the children, “I Never Saw Another Butterfly” is a powerful play that stands as a stunning testament to resilience, humanity, and courage in the face of unimaginable hardship.
