PLAYS THE RICKETSON THEATRE SEPTEMBER 28 – NOVEMBER 18 

Lowis Lowry’s powerful award-winning novel, THE GIVER, comes to life in a thought provoking production by the Denver Center Theatre Company (DCTC).

 

A standard reading throughout middle schools in the United States, this modern-day fable will transport you to a new world, stir the imagination, and have you questioning the value of“choice”.

In a futuristic world devoid of color, emotion and differences, 12-year-old Jonas is selected to be the sole keeper of his world’s memories. But as his newfound knowledge opens up a new world of pain, loss, family and love, will he dare to escape the rules that govern his society or will he choose to grasp the vibrant colors that have awakened his curiosity?
