Liberty Arts Theatre Presents Free WWII Resistance Story in Leonia Next Week

Liberty Arts Theatre will present I Know What I Give My Life For (The Short Life Of Walter Klingenbeck) on Tuesday, May 19, at American Legion Post #1 in Leonia. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Roland Weimer brings this production to audiences. Walter Klingenbeck was just 19 when the Nazi regime executed him. His crime was painting “V” signs across Munich and tuning into enemy radio broadcasts.

According to New Jersey Stage, this play centers on a devout Catholic boy who joined a resistance group. It’s a story about courage, conviction, and facing death with calm.

The performance marks part of the America 250 celebration at the theater group. Liberty Arts Theatre gathers local artists and art enthusiasts from Bergen County who care about their community.

Leonia native Alison Miller founded this collective. The group works to develop and produce performance art throughout Bergen County, New Jersey.

Music, dance, theater, film, painting — this organization loves it all. The group doesn’t discriminate based on political division and respects people’s right to privacy.

This collective believes art can entertain, but it can also seek truth. They love to perform and put on shows, yet they aren’t afraid to ask tough questions.

The group chooses to honor older traditions while helping new voices develop. They don’t limit themselves. They remain open to possibility.

American Legion Post #1 sits at 399 Broad Ave. in Leonia, New Jersey. The venue will host Tuesday evening’s performance.
