West Linn High School Theatre Arts Department presents This Random World by Steven Dietz.
We want to believe that serendipity brings us together; but is that Just a myth? Mining the comedy of missed connections, This Random World asks the serious question of how often we travel parallel paths throughout the world without noticing. From an ailing woman who plans one final trip, to her daughter planning one great escape and her son falling prey to a prank gone wrong, this funny, intimate, and heartbreaking play explores the lives that may be happening just out of reach of our own.
Opening night is March 4, and the show runs March 5, 10, 11, and 12. Held in the Black Box Studio Theatre, curtain for each performance is 7pm. The production is recommended for ages 12 and up. Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for students, and can be purchased online at www.wlhstheatre.org. Tickets can also be purchased at the door, but will be limited due to keeping a safe capacity in the black box.
