The Sheen Center in Manhattan presents “All Hour Children” a drama that puts for the question of who decides if a child should live or die.
The show is based in 1941 Germany when a terrible crime is taking place in a German clinic for disabled children. The perpetrators argue that it will help struggling parents and lift the financial burden on the mighty Third Reich. One brave voice is raised in objection. But will anyone listen?
Featuring Tony Award winner John Glover and a cast of Broadway veterans, Jennifer Dundas, Karl Kenzler, Tasha Lawrence, and Sam Lilja.
“A powerfully performed compelling drama… about the care that people, and nations, owe to the weakest among them…It is, at its core, about the sanctity of life,” wrote The New York Times.
The last show is on May 12.
Use Code AOC20 for $49 tickets. Student Rush Performances for $20 on hour before showing with Student ID.
