Provision Theater Company Presents World Premiere of THE HIDING PLACE 4/7

Provision Theater Company, a multi-Jeff nominated Equity theater company, will round out their 2009-10 season with the World Premiere of THE HIDING PLACE. Based on the bestselling autobiography by Corrie ten Boon, THE HIDING PLACE is the true story of a family that fought the Nazi madness with the only weapon they had: love. With the WWII Nazi invasion of Holland, the ten Boom family joins the underground resistance to help save Jewish families, but when they are arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps themselves, they're left with nothing to cling to but their faith.
