A DISTINCT SOCIETY Runs Feb. 5-16

A DISTINCT SOCIETY
Human Race Theatre Company
Feb. 5-16
The Loft Theatre [Dayton]

Directed by Brant Russell

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.
