Synopsis:Â
Boy and Girl meet.
Boy and Girl love.
Boy and Girl strive to become better.
Then the world becomes better, too.
Or does it?
In this time of isolation and division, we are examining the lessons from our favorite stories. Inspired by well-known parables/fables/allegories and the bestseller The Alchemist, the George Fox theatre ensemble experiments with how to create meaning during a pandemic.
Traveling through our gorgeous campus, we invite you to come and experience a new type of storytelling that makes familiar stories anew. Will you join our journey as we search for a language that all people understand?
