One of the survivors of Terezin concentration camp, Raja, wants to keep a promise she made to save the drawings and poems of the children of Terezin. Having lived through it all, she tells the true story of teaching when there was nothing to teach with, helping to give hope when there was little reason for hope, and creating a little world of laughter, flowers and butterflies behind the barbed wire. Butterflies became a symbol of defiance for the children, making it possible for them to live on and play happily while waiting to be transported. Learn More
A mean witch dares a frilly little fairy to prove there's such a thing as happiness. So the fairy brings a scarecrow to life and promises to make him a real man if he can find happiness. It's a strange search, sometimes comical, sometimes sad. The scarecrow meets a variety of characters, each providing an insight into human relations as well as excellent roles for your actors and actresses. The scarecrow's search evokes a little smile, a little fright and perhaps a little tear. What is happiness? Philosophers have struggled with this question for centuries. But sometimes answers are found by simple people with humble aims. Learn More
