A theatre group from Taylor University, Upland, IN, will be performing We Will Not Be Silent: The Story of the White Rose at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, May 8 at The Bridge (Church) in Tipp City. The Bridge meets at Broadway Elementary School (223 West Broadway, Tipp City, Ohio 45371). The performance will be in the auditorium and is free of charge.
The synopsis: During the darkest days of WWII, a handful of Germans—armed with typewriter, hand-cranked duplicating machine, and courage—distributed thousands of anti-Nazi leaflets and worked toward unifying resistance across Germany. Their ultimate goal: remove Hitler from power. Their name: The White Rose. Hans Scholl, his sister Sophie, their friends Alex Schmorell, Christoph Probst, and Willi Graf were students, intellectuals, romantics. Most importantly, they were Christians. Their belief in God compelled them to fight a regime that was anti-Christian and, therefore, anti-human. That fight cost them their lives. William Gebby’s new play celebrates these brave young people who were and will not be silent.
If you have any questions about the production or the church, please contact Pastor Ron at 901-2231.
