Based on the book by Lois Lowry
Adapted by Eric Coble
Directed by Ben Slate
Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois.

Jonas' world is perfect. Everything is under control and safe. There is no war, 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 by The Giver—to receive and keep the community's memories. 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. Discover what it means to grow up, to grow wise, and to take control of your own destiny. 

Content Warning: This production contains references to death, suicide, injections (needles), infanticide, drowning, and the death of an animal. There is a brief sequence in Act Two featuring visual and sound effects depicting warfare, which some audience members may find distressing.
