TheHIDDEN travel show is a one-hour musical based on the true story of Ruth Kapp Hartz, who was a "hidden child" as young Jewish girl in France during World War II.
Performed by seven actors with live music, video, and a portable set, HIDDEN brings history to life for audiences—connecting the past to what is happening in our country today. The show is intended for middle and high schools, colleges and universities, senior centers, synagogues and churches, performance venues and community centers.
We need to raise $25,000 in 3 weeks to bring HIDDEN to places that can’t otherwise afford it.

"This was more than a field trip - it was a once-in-a-lifetime invaluable lesson in humanity, courage, and the enduring power of stories." -Carl Sandburg Middle School
This is history felt, not just learned.
