Orlando Repertory Theatre Presents THE GIVER, 1/29-2/28

The Orlando Repertory Thetare presents A Sideways Series Production of The Giver, book by Lois Lowry, and adapted by Eric Coble.

Imagine a perfect world with no poverty, no crime, no sickness, no unemployment and no unhappiness. What would you trade to live in that idyllic society? Lois Lowry's Newbery Medal-winning book, The Giver, examines the idea that people might freely choose to give up their humanity in order to create a more stable civilization. In this compelling drama, 12-year-old Jonas learns just how costly this ordered and painfree society can be and boldly decides he cannot pay the price. What's the Sideways Series? The Sideways Series showcases plays with new or lesser known titles, that encourage dialogue between young people and adults. The REP works in collaboration with the UCF Theatre for Young Audiences graduate program on this series.

The Giver will run January 29, 2010 - February 28, 2010 with show times on Fridays at 7pm, Saturdays at 2pm & 7pm and Sundays at 2pm. There will be a backstage tour on February 13th after the 2pm show.
