GRANTHAM, Pa. (April 13, 2004) —The Messiah College School of the
Arts will present award-winning storyteller, Noa Baum, in "A Land
Twice Promised" at 8 p.m. on Monday, April 19, in Miller Auditorium,
located in Climenhaga Fine Arts Center on the college's Grantham campus.

In "A Land Twice Promised," storyteller Noa Baum, a native Israeli
who began a dialogue with a Palestinian woman while living in the United
States, weaves together a story of both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict through their memories and their mothers' stories. She creates
a testimony about the complex and contradictory history and emotions that
surround Jerusalem for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
Baum received a bachelor of fine arts degree in theater arts from Tel-Aviv
University. She studied acting with Utah Hagen in New York and received
a master of arts degree in educational theater from New York University.
Returning to Tel-Aviv, Baum combined storytelling and drama in education.
"A Land Twice Promised" received a grant from the National Storytelling
Network.
This performance is part of Messiah College's Spring for the Arts festival-a
community celebration of the arts at Messiah College that showcases the
college's many cultural offerings.

arts and sciences, enrolls more than 2,900 undergraduate students in 60
