Calendar: The Giver

Lois Lowry's controversial pop novel is now a high tech stage play by Eric Coble @WPH Fri-Sun 4wks!

Life in the community where The Giver and Jonas live is idyllic. Designated birthmothers produce new children, who are assigned to appropriate family units: one male, one female, to each. Citizens are assigned their partners and their jobs, and no one thinks to ask questions. Everyone obeys. The community is a precisely choreographed world without conflict, inequality, divorce, unemployment, injustice… or choice. Join us for this multimedia presentation as we follow Jonas’ journey filled with heightened sensory experiences from a place of sameness… to elsewhere! Jack Heath and Elliott Plunkett alternate four weekends as Jonas; Gavin Glynn stars in the title role all performances.

Friday-Saturday, February 7-8: 8 p.m.

Sunday, February 9: 2 p.m.
