The
Independence Community
College Theatre
Department and Student
Repertory presents a
remarkable hour of
theater in “Far Away,”
by Caryl Churchill, from
October 9-12. In just
60 minutes, “Far Away”
asks profound questions
about the consequences
of conformity, conflict
and the future of
society, and stretches
our notions of what
theatre can be. “Far
Away” draws disturbingly
on our recent memories
of conflict and combines
this with an Alice in
Wonderland-fantasy world
in which the familiar is
made strange and the
strange, familiar.
Curtain time is 7:30
p.m. Thursday through
Saturday October 9-11,
and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday
October 12, at the
William Inge Theatre.
Admission is $5 for
adults and $2 for
students, with ICC
students and staff
free. It is recommended
for teens and above.
Friday culminates the
school week on campus
with a Pep Rally at 2:15
pm in the gym followed
by a first time ever
event. The students,
staff and community
participants will
participate in a Snake
Dance through downtown
Independence. The
sidewalk parade will
originate on South Penn
and Main streets.
Everyone is welcome
participate and cheer on
the students and team as
they throw out Pirate
beads, footballs and
Homecoming T-Shirts.
