                               “A Light In the Darkness”
                                Holocaust DVD released

     J&B Production Arts Services has announced the release of the DVD of A Light In the Darkness: A Story of Hope During the Holocaust.  The world premier of this play took place in October of 2011 at the Victorian Players in Youngstown, Ohio.  It ran for three record breaking weekends at the theater with six of the ten performances being totally sold out.  “Unfortunately, we had to turn people away several times due to the sell-outs, but the release of the DVD will give those people a chance to see it,” said J.E.Ballantyne, Jr., Managing Director of the Victorian and writer of the play.   The subject of the play, Eva Schloss, was in attendance for the first two weeks of the run.  Mrs. Schloss is Anne Frank’s step-sister and she spoke following each of the performances.  Ballantyne said that the DVD is loaded with Bonus Material.  Not only does it contain Eva speaking following a performance but it also contains the opening night
 reception that was held at the DeYor Performing Arts Center, where dignitaries as well as Eva and cast members are interviewed.  Another bonus feature is an Actors Roundtable where the cast and Eva speak at length about the play and the world premier. 

     “This DVD holds a wealth of educational opportunities,”  Ballantyne went on to say.  “Every school, especially those schools that teach the Holocaust, should have this DVD on hand for their teachers to use and their students to view.”  With relatively few Holocaust survivors still living, this DVD is an opportunity to not only touch the history of the Holocaust but to touch history with someone who knew Anne Frank and her family intimately. 

     Copies of the DVD are available for $25.00 and are available by calling J&B Production Arts Services at 330-799-6176 or by email at jandbproductionarts at juno.com; jandbproductionarts at yahoo.com or jandbproductionarts at mail.com.  DVDs may also be ordered by mail by sending a check or money order for $25.00 plus $3.00 for postage and handling to J&B Production Arts Services at 7130 Locust Avenue, Suite #12, Youngstown, Ohio 44512.  Authorized purchase orders are also accepted.  Recently J&B Production Arts Services also announced the release of the performance rights of the script of A Light In the Darkness to theaters and schools.
