Abbotsford’s Gallery 7 holding auditions for Irena’s Vow, set during the German occupation of Poland in World War II
ABBOTSFORD – Actor auditions for a forthcoming stage production set during the German occupation of Poland in World War II are scheduled for late October.
Abbotsford-based Gallery 7 Theatre will be seeking performers aged 20 and up as preparations for the January run of Irena’s Vow continue.
Based on a true story, the production focuses on the plight of Irena Gut, a housekeeper for a high-ranking Nazi officer, who shelters Jewish workers in the basement of the house where she serves.
“Irena’s Vow is a story I’ve been wanting to stage at Gallery 7 Theatre ever since I first came across it many years ago,” says managing artistic director Ken Hildebrandt.
