THE GIVER
April 9, 10, 16 & 17
Grades 5-8
Imagine a world in the far distant future where everyone is the same. There is no fear, no pain and no memory. And no one questions that it could be otherwise—ever. This is the only world young Jonas has ever known, but when he turns twelve, he learns he has the power to “see beyond” it. With the help of a wise man called The Giver, Jonas discovers he has the ability to challenge everything he has been told. But does he dare to confront the world about its forgotten humanity and run the risk of upsetting the balance of life as everyone knows it? Part science fiction, party mystery and part adventure, this compelling story became an instant classic for young people as well as adults. |

CRANKED

Stan a.k.a. “definition” is a rising freestyle MC who lost it all because of his meth habit. He confronts his demons as he prepares for an upcoming competition without the “fix” that has dominated his life. Memories of the highs and the rush of music all collide as he struggles to recapture what he once had. This newly commissioned play will examine the rising epidemic of crystal meth use by teens.
