All about the Drama Theatre Group Presents - The Graduate, by Narsima Hines

'THE GRADUATE'
A Musical Stage Play
Written by Narsima Hines

What happens when a family is forced to deal with the realities of a changing family dynamic that challenges their faith and their future? It is easier to preach and teach against the norm, until it shows up in your very own family, and you are forced to deal with it. Is being gay a sin? Is gender identity always certain? Can God make the mistake and put a girl in a boy's body? Does the emphasis on hardcore rough sports from a father and less emphasis on love from a mother mean your male son will grow up to be a man? What is the DNA chromosome connection between twins and where does the struggle and the connection begin and end?

Watch as the Harris family deals with denial in the face of adversity that challenges the very faith in the God that they serve. The problems do not start today, but there is a long string of unresolved issues that culminate in the vulnerability of one unique character: because the mirror does not lie!

Laugh, cry, even get angry but follow the graduate with an unsuspected twist that will leave you questioning your own beliefs.
