2014 Nov 5

Corey Riedl participated in Carthage Theatre's performance of "Day After Night."

"Day After Night" is based on the extraordinary true story of the 1945 rescue of more than two hundred prisoners from the Atlit internment camp, run by the British military near the Mediterranean coast south of Haifa. Set in the aftermath of the Second World War, the story is told through the eyes of four young women at the camp with profoundly different stories. Haunted by unspeakable memories and losses, afraid to begin to hope, Shayndel, Leonie, Tedi, and Zorah find salvation in the bonds of friendship and shared experience even as they confront the challenge of re-creating themselves in a strange new country.

"Day After Night" was a world premiere adaptation of Anita Diamant's powerful novel, written by Carthage Theatre alum and award--winning playwright Mikaley Osley '14. The culmination of several years of collaboration and work, the play is a compelling addition to Carthage's First Year Experience program.
