MS drama students perform The Giver
The coronavirus outbreak forced the cancellation of the last of three performances of The Giver by RE’s middle school drama students, but it did not diminish the impact of the powerful play. Myles Heller ’24 and Fiona Oberg ’24 led a talented and well-rehearsed cast in the production, which featured a 12-year-old boy (Heller) who partnered with an old man, The Giver (Oberg), to bring humanity to a not-quite-utopian society.

The production featured a monochromatic set and costumes illuminated by “memories” passed on from The Giver to the boy, and eventually to the rest of the community. The memories were shared as vivid, colorful projections. The play opened March 11 to a packed house in Swenson Hall. Only immediate family attended the second night, and the third was cancelled on the day RE began REmote School. The students performed under the direction of performing arts teacher Gina Montet.
