The Giver at Olney Theatre Center

Based on the beloved children's novel by Lois Lowry (Number the Stars), The Giver is one of the most haunting dystopian tales ever written. Set in a world seemingly free of poverty, crime, sickness and unemployment, young Jonas enjoys a "perfect" childhood. When he turns 12, he is chosen for special training with The Giver, the keeper of memories for his community. But during the training, he discovers the contradictions of his supposedly perfect world and grows determined to regain power over his own destiny.
