Adapted by Cleveland playwright Eric Coble, this Newbery Medal winning novel ignites the stage with its moving tale of a boy learning that the world around him is hardly what it seems. Designated to inherit his utopian community’s role as the ‘Receiver of Memories,’ 12-year-old Jonas comes face-to-face with powerful knowledge of a time long ago that could topple the fragile society in which he lives. Confronted with decisions whose consequences far outweigh anything he has ever known, how far will Jonas go to discover the truth? Named one of the ‘Best Books for Young Adults’ by the American Library Association, this dramatization of Lois Lowry’s modern day classic will continue to affect audiences long after the lights have come up.
