We are doing an original screenplay adapted for the stage by Chaitania Hein. “Ursula and our Conversations: The Nazi Era”, is the story of one woman’s life before WWII, surviving the war, and the aftermath. This women’s story accounts the indoctrination of youth and the discovery of self, and the journey for redemption.

For this production:

We need two (2) female and two (2) male actors for significant parts, plus a few walk-on parts that could be done by those working backstage.

For behind the curtain, we need preferably with experience: a prop manager, stage manager, and one or two stagehands.

At present,  these are volunteer positions. However, we are in conversation with a few local Theater Co. which might change the status.

Chaitania Hein, performance artist, therapist and

teacher, engaged her German mother-in-law in

many conversations about Ursula’s life growing up

in Nazi Germany, where she became a member of

Hitler Youth at age 15 in 1933. The results of the discussions

are an original screenplay and the recent stage adaptation.

The story traverses the rocky landscape of Ursula’s

early certainty in the illusory Nazi propaganda machine.

At war’s end in 1945, having learned what her country

had done, she realized her existence had based on lies.

For the rest of her life, she experienced a paralyzing

fear and deep shame.

Chaitania holds a Master’s degree in Psychology, with a

concentration in propaganda and brainwashing and its effect on

society and individuals, as well as a bachelor’s degree in Depth

Psychology and Art as a Way to Heal. She was on the Dance faculty

of Cornish College of the Arts, and Academic Dean and faculty

member at WuHsing Tao School, where she taught psychology.  

Currently, writing the book to Ursula and Our Conversations,

 screenplay and staged reading, as well as giving lectures on the subject.bject.
