JULIUS CAESAR by William Shakespeare • directed by Tyler Dobrowsky September 29th, October 2 or 6 - All at 10 AM Ages 11+ “As he was valiant, I honor him. But as he was ambitious I slew him." -- Julius Caesar Shakespeare’s penetrating tale of leadership and ambition opens Trinity Rep’s 52nd season. Julius Caesar, emperor of Rome, returns from war a hero, but a group of intimate royal advisers — fearful Caesar has become too powerful, and hoping to assume the throne — conspire to assassinate the leader. Julius Caesar remains a prescient explosion of politics, revenge and the human struggle between fate and free will. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD based on the book by Harper Lee • adapted by Christopher Sergel • directed by Brian McEleney March 9, 15, 17, 22, 23 - All at 10 AM Ages 10+ “As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but ... whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, he is trash.” — To Kill a Mockingbird Scout is a six-year-old white girl growing up during the Depression in Alabama. When a young white woman is attacked and Scout’s father is appointed to defend the black man accused of the crime, Scout sets out on a journey filled with questions of morality, prejudice, race and social justice. Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Trinity Rep brings one of the finest pieces of American literature to life. Performance Pricing $15 per student ticket Theater Address: 201 Washington Street Providence, RI 02903 CCHL will be ending our school year with a little culture! We are heading to the big city to experience:
A NEW AMERICAN OPERA WORLD PREMIERE Music & libretto by Matthew Aucoin Directed by Diane Paulus With the chamber orchestra A Far Cry Inspired by the diary Walt Whitman kept as a nurse during the Civil War, this world premiere opera by the extraordinary young composer Matthew Aucoin explores how the individual experiences of soldiers are remembered and told. As Whitman listens to wounded veterans share their memories and messages, he forges a bond with a soldier who forces him to examine his own role as writer and poet. This new opera, featuring the Boston-based orchestra A Far Cry, an ensemble at the forefront of a dynamic new generation in classical music is produced in association with Music Theatre Group.

It will serve you well in pain and strife. You must be bold, stand strong, take heart, For you are living in a world of dark. Your light must shine bright like day, Or it shall go out to your dismay. So children, do not turn away. ****************************************** ****************************************** Faith is something we need, To keep us away from greed, It can help us plant a seed, to keep others away from greed. ****************************************** ****************************************** Faith is lasting, Faith is strong, Without your faith, You won't last very long. Faith means living for Something unseen. It's true and solid, not just a dream. Without any faith, You'll live in the crowd, Those people still stuck in a black enclosed shroud. **************************************** **************************************** Why should we believe? Without faith, You're forced to believe in nothing more than one's existence. *************************************** *************************************** |
