Remembering Margot
Written by Claudia Haas
Directed by Kara Gold-Harris​
Performance time:

Maybe you’ve done The Diary of Anne Frank and you’d like to know more or delve deeper into the relationship between Anne and Margot. The Diary tells us so little about Margot.
It’s well-documented that as soon as Margot laid eyes on Anne, she appointed herself “Protector of Her Sister.” What has recently come to light, is Margot was far from the mousey inhabitant in the Secret Annex. She was highly athletic, competitive and by all accounts – brilliant. She alsohad a boyfriend which thrilled Anne.
Remembering Margot explores Anne’s and Margot’s
complicated sisterhood and ends with a little-known fact: at Auschwitz, Margot was offered a choice – a choice that would have saved her life.
Remembering Margot is appropriate for all ages 7+
It contains some scarey moments
Run time is approximately 85 mins with no intermission
All Seats are Pay-What-You-Can Donation
$10 for reserved seating, per person

Last August, 15-year-old Maisie Green was found dead at the bottom of a cliff near her performing arts summer camp. One year later, her four former cabin-mates return to the camp, still without answers and still reeling from the loss. There, the girls meet Noah, a newcomer who has taken Maisie’s place in the cabin. Relationships form and crumble as the girls—a dancer, a singer-songwriter, a poet, a painter, and an actress—use their individual art forms to explore their complex grief and connections with one another. Camp Cattywampus is a full-length play about loss, rage, falling in love, and, most of all, the triumphs and troubles of being a teenage girl.
Camp Cattywampus is recommended for ages 13+
It contains Mature Themes and Language
Run time is approximately 85 mins with no intermission
All Seats are Pay-What-You-Can Donation
