Writer & Director Stephen Joseph Burke will once again present his original theatrical musical production “The Hiding Place: Life of Corrie Ten Boom” at the REX Theatre in downtown Pensacola on Labor Day Weekend (Sept. 2-4).
Based on the well-loved book “The Hiding Place” by John and Elizabeth Sherrill, this production brings to life the story of Corrie Ten Boom’s steadfast faith, hope, and perseverance during the Nazi domination of WWII.
Following two sold out performances at the REX Theatre last year and a Summer 2016 tour along the East Coast, Burke brings his production to the REX Theatre once again this fall. The show features a cast of talented individuals from Pensacola’s Christian community; eight local churches and multiple denominations are represented.
Burke’s intention was to create a community-wide event and he has certainly succeeded. His wife, Alisha Burke, stars as Corrie Ten Boom. She has performed in over twenty stage productions, including “Our Town” as Emily Webb and “Ruddigore” as Mad Margaret. Attendees from last year’s performance at the REX Theatre called the show “compelling,†“life-changing,†and “upliftingâ€.
General Admission tickets are $25. Military, Student, and Senior Citizen (55+) tickets are $15. Tickets can be purchased at www.hidingplacemusical.com/tickets.
