Friday – Sunday, Nov. 6-8 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., JCHS Players present The Giver and Gathering Blue, The Giver – Lois Lowry novel

Everything is under control and safe. There is no war or fear or pain. There are also no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the community. But when Jonas turns 12, he is chosen for special training from The Giver—to receive and keep the memories of the community. The Giver is the only person who holds the memories of real pain and real joy. Now Jonas will learn the truth about life—and the hypocrisy of his utopian world.

Gathering Blue- (second installment of “The Giver” series)
This futuristic story takes place in a totalitarian society dominated by raw human needs and a profoundly savage nature. The protagonists in the tale are young, imprisoned orphans working as artists for the government. The possibility is explored that an artist, taken in the broadest sense, can change the world.
