Welcome to a future not too far away from now, where there is no war or conflict, no fear or pain, and no choices. Everyone knows their assigned place - except for young Jonas. He feels different, and being different is dangerous. Upon turning twelve, Jonas is chosen for a special role: to receive and keep the memories of a history forgotten by the public. The lesson he must learn is: To find freedom, first seek the truth. Based on the Newbery Award-winning novel by Lois Lowry, this timely production asks us to consider what our community values, what we imagine for our children, and what makes us unique. Suitable for ages 10 and up. Learn more and order tickets at get.org/giver
