Theatre at Centre: How to Save Ourselves

How to Save Ourselves is the story of six mis-matched 20-somethings who come together to volunteer for six weeks at the Love Your Neighbor Food Initiative in the not-so-distant future. They all have their own reasons for being there, but Stephen and Antonio (who run the food bank) are just glad to have the help. In a world where climate emergencies, refugee crises, and violence seem like daily occurrences, it’s sometimes hard to imagine how volunteering one day a week in one little food bank can make any difference at all. But when they find themselves in the midst of their own emergency, it turns out that maybe they have each other to turn to. And maybe, in this world, that might just be a miracle.

About the Farm Theater College Collaboration Project
In the College Collaboration Project, the Farm Theater commissions an up-and-coming playwright to write a brand new script for Centre College students. This is Centre’s sixth collaboration, and previous plays like John Proctor is the Villain (directed by Dr. Jennifer Goff) have gone on to wild success, receiving subsequent productions across the country, and opening on Broadway this spring! This year the program welcomes Enid Graham, a performer and writer, whose work has been seen on everything from HBO to Broadway.

Audience: Intended for high school audience and above due to language.
