Ages 9-14

“Giver what causes you pain? If you gave some of it to me, maybe your pain would be less.” A young boy from a seemingly utopian, futuristic world is singled out to receive life-altering training from The Giver, who alone holds the memories of the true joys and pain of life. Told with deceptive simplicity, Lois Lowry’s Newbery Award-winning classic, The Giver, comes alive onstage exploring a profound journey and reflection on humanity. 

Adapted by Elise Thoron. Performed by Liz Parker.
