OF MICE AND MEN

Set in the desperation of the Great Depression, OF MICE AND MEN is one of the world's most compelling tales of friendship and survival.

George and Lennie are displaced migrant workers who dream of one day settling down on their own piece of land. Their shared vision of a better future and the strength of their friendship carry them through the loneliness, oppression and uncertainty of one of the world's most profound eras of disillusionment.

The play, adapted by John Steinbeck from his extraordinary novel, remains a stunning indictment, particularly in today's era of economic, political and moral disillusionment, of how we treat our disenfranchised fringe dwellers, our migrant peoples and our most vulnerable citizens.

The show will be presented in the Park Street Ballroom, 1232 Park Street, in downtown Paso Robles. Wine and refreshments will be available to purchase and enjoy during the show. Show dates are March 4 ,5, 11, 12 18 & 19 ; Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm and March 6 & 13, Sundays at 2:00 pm. Tickets for this show are $25 General Admission. Tickets for students with school IDs will be $5. Additionally, for every 8 students who purchase tickets, a teacher with a staff ID, will be admitted free of charge. Doors will open one hour prior to show.

Please join us for a pre-show discussion with National Steinbeck Center Director Dr. Susan Shillinglaw on March 5th and 6th. This event will start at 7:00pm.
