GableStage - We Will Not Be Silent

We Will Not Be Silent (January 6 – 29) by David Meyers is the story of 21-year-old German college student Sophie Scholl – who, with her brother, courageously led a major act of civil disobedience against Hitler and his fascist regime. Scholl’s moral strength is tested while being interrogated for her crimes, leading her to question whether to save her own life or continue her righteous crusade. Based on true events, WE WILL NOT BE SILENT is a provocative and timely new work that examines the role of ordinary people in extraordinary times. This production is produced with support from the University of Miami Sue & Leonard Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies. Special student matinees for the production (January 20 and 27 at 10:30 am) are sponsored by The Green Family Foundation.
