A Distinct Society
Feb 5 - Feb 16, 2025
The Loft Theatre
Description
In the tranquil hush of a library that straddles the U.S.-Canada border, life is about to change. When an Iranian father and daughter, separated by the international border, start using the library as a meeting place, the French-Canadian librarian, an American customs agent, and a local teenager find their quiet lives suddenly full of excitement and consequence. Inspired by true events, A DISTINCT SOCIETY is a touching and funny new play about the many things – family, food, art, love, and politics – that can either divide or unite us.
Experience a story of borders transcended by the universal search for connection, proving that even in the quietest places, life can echo with excitement and profound significance.
