PLAY -“The Children’s Republic” for Grade 10 Students
PLAY -“The Children’s Republic” for Grade 10 Students
The TDSB’s Jewish Heritage Committee, in honour of Jewish Heritage Month (May 2025), is pleased to offer complimentary tickets for our Grade 10 students to attend “The Children’s Republic”, a play written by Canadian playwright Hannah Moscovitch.
This play, produced by the Harold Green Theatre Company and Koffler Arts, casts local Toronto actors, including high school students, and relays a heartfelt and inspirational tale of Dr. Janusz Korczak's selfless journey to bring safety to Polish-Jewish orphans within the Warsaw Ghetto. His struggle to advocate for children's rights and shelter his orphans from the horrors of the Holocaust ended with his death in 1942. A powerful and true story of beauty, heroism, and legacy in a world devoid of freedom and even the necessities of life.
See the flyer (left) for locations, dates, and times. Seating is very limited, so please register as soon as possible.
