I Never Saw Another Butterfly

by Celeste Raspanti, Book and Lyrics by Joseph Robinette, Music by E.A. Alexander

Historically based and inspired by the poetry, drawings and lives of the children of Terezin, I Never Saw Another Butterfly is the tale of a woman who instills creativity and imagination in the children who are imprisoned in a concentration camp outside Prague during World War II. A beautiful and poignant musical play about love, hope, empowerment and remembrance, we also meet two young people who embrace their love without fear, and families who struggle to survive against the odds.

A truly inspirational tale! The music and the spirit of the story will remain with you for a very long time.
