The Giver

By Author Lois Lowry // Adaptation and Direction by Elise Thoron // Performed by Aurea Tomeski

At the age of twelve, Jonas, a young boy from a seemingly utopian, futuristic world, is singled out to receive special training from The Giver, who alone holds the memories of the true joys and pain of life. In the process, Jonas is forced to question everything in his ideal world: a world without conflict, poverty, unemployment, divorce, injustice, or inequality.

This one-hour live performance is adapted from the Newbery-Award winning, best-selling book for young readers. In the telling, audiences question every value that they have taken for granted and reexamine their most deeply held beliefs.

Tickets: Adults $15, Seniors $14, Youth $8
