About the Event

Literature to Life stage presentation of The Giver

By Lois Lowry

Performed by Aurea Tomeski

Adapted and Directed by Elise Thoron

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. The Newbery-Award winning best-selling book has become the gold standard for the young adult genre. Told with deceptive simplicity, it’s a provocative story of a boy who experiences something incredible and undertakes something impossible.
