                                                       Released for Production

J&B Production Arts Services just announced that IMAGES: Remembrances of the
Holocaust - THE EVA SCHLOSS STORY is available to schools and theaters that may be interested in producing the play at their venues. The World Premier production was a co-production between J&B Production Arts Services and the Youngstown Playhouse this past August.

J.E.Ballantyne, Jr said that some rights restrictions may be applicable if the touring production is playing in the same area at the same time that a school or theater may want to perform the show. A production is currently in the works at a theater in Menomonie, Wisconsin for January of 2017. He went on to explain that the tri-state tour of IMAGES will kick off after the beginning of January 2017. A special assembly length version of the show will also be available to schools that wish to present it to their students during the school day. Currently one show, of the full production, is scheduled in the New Castle, Pa. area with about six other tour dates currently in discussion.  They really haven’t promoted the tour, as of yet, but word has gotten out that the tour will take place which has generated early interest. IMAGES is a one-woman show telling the life story of Anne Frank childhood friend and posthumous stepsister, Eva Schloss. It is a very powerful story augmented by multi-media which helps to further illustrate and underscore events in Eva’s life. Eva and her family spent nine months in the infamous Auschwitz Concentration Camp after being arrested while they were in hiding. Ballantyne said that audiences that saw the production at the Playhouse were all very moved by the show and Molly Galano’s performance. Numerous audience members expressed their hope that the show could go far beyond Youngstown and reach as many people as possible. Ms. Galano will be available for the tour but will occasionally turn the role over to another actress, yet to be hired.

For information on booking the tour or acquiring the rights for an in-house production, interested parties should call J&B Production Arts Services at 330-799-6176 or they can go to www.jandbproductionarts.com and send an email message.
In related news, the full production video of IMAGES: Remembrances of the Holocaust - THE EVA
SCHLOSS STORY will soon be available. The DVD includes the full World Premier production as it was done at the Youngstown Playhouse along with the post-performance discussion with the audience.
