Editor’s Best Bet: See ‘The Giver’ at Centralia College
Make plans to see the Centralia College production of “The Giver” as it completes a run at Wickstrom Theatre.
The play follows the book of the same name, existing in a utopian future of sameness deprived of color, knowledge and memory of the world previously. The story focuses on choices and how the removal of decision-making and pain required the sacrifice of memories and love.
The production runs through Saturday.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances are at
7 p.m.
Adults tickets are $10, and students and seniors are $8.
