The Greater Good by rebecca gorman o'neill

Directed by Susan Lyles

Assistant Director Libby Arnold

Starring by Madison Kuebler, Erica Lee Johnson, Sam Gilstrap, Sean Verdu and Ben Griffin

In the not-too-distant future, three men live in an internment camp for American intellectuals and political dissenters. Their lives are turned upside-down with the arrival of Stel, a woman whose presence could be their death sentence; or their means to escape. The Greater Good is a sardonic look at what might happen if we forget our past, or lose hope for our future. Join us for a night of cutting edge new theater, November 7-23, 2013.  Stay after the show opening night for a reception with playwright Rebecca Gorman O’Neill and the cast.

."... The Greater Good ...does not hold back, portraying a bleak, dark future where political dissent is mercilessly punished.  This play does not offer hope – it is a warning, and the message is clear: Do not let the government take away our rights and freedoms, and do not believe that “it can’t happen here,” or we start down a slippery slope that ends in disaster." Craig Williamson, The North Denver Tribune
