A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS: A Story of Hope During the Holocaust

by J.E.Ballantyne, Jr.

The true story of Eva Schloss, the step-sister of Anne Frank, and her family as they hide from the Nazis in World War II Amsterdam.  Based on Eva's book, The Promise, A Light in the Darkness is a multi-media drama with narration by Eva herself.  It tells the harrowing story of how Eva and her family were driven into hiding, much the same as her good friend Anne Frank.  It follows their discovery by the Nazis and their subsequent imprisonment at Auschwitz, one of the most feared of all Nazi camps.  Few people left Auschwitz alive but Eva did.  It follows Eva and her mother back to Amsterdam and their frantic search for Eva's brother and father.  A true story of inspiration and strength.  A necessity in all school libraries and should be on each student's "must-see" list.

" 'A Light in the Darkness' will give you perspective into your own life, and offer incredible amounts of hope to be remembered in trying times."

SPECTER OF TREASON - THE OSWALD TRIAL by J.E.Ballantyne, Jr.

The age-old question of "Who killed JFK?" is scrutinized in this powerful and dramatic stage production focusing on the trial that Lee Harvey Oswald never had.  Oswald, suspected JFK assassin, was gunned down by a low level mafia hood just two days following Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas.  This play is a "what-if" play about what might have taken place if Oswald had gotten to have his day in court.  All evidence presented is based upon available information that could have been used in 1965.  Today, however, we have found that much of that information was not accurate and even more had been supressed.The most interesting part of the show is that the audience acts as the jury and renders the verdict.  Written during the mid-1990's, the show was first presented in 1996.  This production was presented to mark the 50th Anniversary of the JFK Assassination in 2013.  

"...sharp and cutting...not to be missed!"

"...thought provoking drama."

"It's really interesting the way the play is written---it's very, very unbiased."

EDGAR ALLAN POE'S:  THE TELL TALE HEART adapted by J.E.Ballantyne, Jr.

Edgar Allan Poe --- The Master of Horror --- penned many a scary tale but none quite so graphic and memorable as The Tell-Tale Heart.  This is the one story for which Poe is most well associated.  EDGAR ALLAN POE'S: THE TELL TALE HEART is a chilling stage adaptation of the classic story told in flasback fashion after the murderer is captured.  As he explains his story (from the original) scenes appear that further play out what was in the murderer's mind and how the old man's eye obsessed him.  Extra characters are added to heighten the dramatic effect on stage including a nosy and comical little old lady who's chore it is to clean the old man's house each month.

Great Halloween viewing!!
