One Act Play - Theatre
Description
The Drama Department's first presentation of the year is a wonderful One Act play called Dark Road. We will be presenting the show Thursday 10/19 @ 2:40 pm and Tuesday, 10/24 @7:00 pm. Tickets are $5.00. Bellow is a brief description of the play:
When Greta, a young girl living in Nazi Germany, reads that the nearby women's concentration camp is hiring guards, she sees it as a chance to find her place in the world and provide for her sister Lise. But soon she learns the reality of her duties, and so too does she learn how to justify her crimes, heading further and further down the dark road laid by the Third Reich. Kind-hearted Lise is shocked at what her sister becomes, and though the two drift apart, their fates remain inextricably and dangerously linked. A powerful drama about the choices that allow evil to become ordinary.
The play would line up wonderfully with literature and social science courses. Also, after the show members from the Psychology Club will give a presentation about "evil becoming ordinary" by exploring and discussing The Milgram Experiment and the Stanford Prison Experiment.
It would be wonderful if you could give your students extra credit for attending the performance. I will, as always, be signing tickets at the end of the presentation.
