Brave New World

"Brave New World" is a play based on the book of the same name by Aldous Huxley. We will be presenting it starting March 7th @ 3:30 p.m., then the 8th-10th @ 7:30 p.m., and the same days and times the following week. Admission is $9 for adults, $8 for students ($7 w/ASB), and $5 for Senior Citizens and both matinees.

It is a story about a future in which babies are grown in labs, and children are raised in a factory-style environment that programs them to prepare to serve society at pre-determined levels. The government provides drugs and a variety of activities to keep the people complacent and happy. One of their leaders discovers a young man who was raised outside the society on a reservation, and he is brought back to be put on display for the "civilized society." He finds it difficult to make the adjustment, and his struggle mirrors our own quest to make sense of our modern world. It is a chilling view of one potential future for our society that Mr. Huxley first imagined after visiting America in 1928.

Please join us for this thought-provoking story of a future we all need to try to avoid.
