The Towle Community Theater will present the Midwest Premiere of “Closet Land”. This drama is based on the highly acclaimed Independent film (1991) by Radha Bharadwaj. The production is directed by Jared Riddle (English and Liberal Arts Chair at Ivy Tech). The demanding roles in the 2 person cast are being portrayed by Scot Kokandy (Hammond) as the Man and KeriAnne Gura (Highland) as the Woman. Performances of the show, which is intended for mature audiences will run May 11-13 and 18-20.

The intense drama follows The Woman, a children’s book writer, who is abducted in the middle of the night and imprisoned for writing subversive literature. She declares her books to be pure fantasies, but her well-dressed inquisitor, The Man, sees the books as allegorical attacks on the State. In the form of a long dialogue between The Man and The Woman, The Man, through psychological and physical torture, attempts to get The Woman to confess. The Woman endures, refusing to buckle under to The Man's relentless interrogation.

The show is intended for mature audiences. Performances run May 11-13 and 18-20. Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm. Sundays at 2pm. Tickets are $14. Advance payment required. Tickets non-refundable.
