~Information about the play

Song of Survival is the autobiographical work of Helen Colijn,
who survived three-and-a-half years of internment in Japanese
prisoner-of-war camps.  Helen's account of her wartime experiences is a
window into a largely overlooked dimension of World War II - the
imprisonment of women and children in Southeast Asia by the Japanese and
How these prisoners of war responded to their dire circumstances.  The
conditions were harsh, terrible.  Food was scarce, medicine unavailable.
More than one third of the women died of disease or starvation.  Yet their
courage, faith, resiliency, ingenuity, and camaraderie provide enduring
lessons on living.  Though the prisoners had no musical instruments, they
had their voices, and from memory scored classical works for symphony and
piano.  The music helped sustain them while in captivity and is a lasting
gift to a world that has witnessed too much war.

The show will be directed by Tracy Piatt with Russ Kulow as the assistant
director.
Musical direction by Sally Morris and Shelly Palumbo.
Rebecca Summers and Thomas Wilschutz will be produce the show.
