"Survivors have
inspiring messages
of hope, peace and
tolerance to deliver."
Nothing defines the best of Michigan's summer like sun bathing,
a nice dip, great food, and wonderful people all in a single relaxing
environment at Tam-O-Shanter Country Club.

"We are here"
That simple statement is a kind of
code that survivors often use among
themselves when telling their sto-
ries. According to Stavish, it's both a
refrain of regret and triumph.
"We cannot rehearse exactly the
lines that will be said on stage
Stavish says, "but certainly there's a
theatrical artistic vision we'll establish
in rehearsals. Then, we'll all have to
let go and trust it to each of the play-
ers. Part of the word player is play,
not only the noun, but also the verb.
"I want the group to feel free to
play with the script and to 'enjoy' the
experience. Even though these stories
take place in the bleakest, darkest
time in Jewish history, these people
have triumphed. We need to rejoice
in that triumph. Bottom line: I trust
the players; I trust the audience; I
trust the stories!" ❑
