愤怒的葡萄吹过瓦尔多斯塔
VALDOSTA - 美高梅博彩's Theatre and Dance Area
will explore the resilience of the human spirit in the stage
adaptation of John Steinbeck's epic novel, "The Grapes of Wrath,"
from February 19-25 on the Sawyer Theater stage in the Fine Arts
Building.
The Tony Award winning play by Frank Galati follows the Joads, a
poor sharecropping family driven from their Oklahoma land by the
crippling Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Their hopeful travels to secure
land, jobs and dignity in California introduce them to families
dealing with similar plights. The production conveys the
socio-economic impact of the Great Depression, and the importance
of family and human dignity in the face of adversity.
"Bank failures, unemployment, loss of life style and loss of
property have become as much a part of our daily lives in 2009 as
they were in 1937. We are not on the road to California as the
Joads are, but we are certainly on the road to what we all hope is
a brighter future, said Professor Jacque Wheeler, who directed the
play. "I hope the music lifts your spirit and reminds you that life
is full of the happy and the sad - the hard and the easy. Even when
things seem darkest before the dawn, there is hope in life renewed
and humanity's ability to overcome obstacles."
Evening performances start at 7:30 p.m. Sunday's performance is at
3 p.m. The vs上 Theatre and Dance Box Office is open from 2-5 p.m.
