The beloved Newbery Award-winning children’s book comes to life in this moving play by Eric Coble.
Eleven-year-old Jonas is worried. His twelfth birthday is just days away, and in Jonas’ society, the Ceremony of Twelve marks the end of childhood and the beginning of your occupation and your adult life. And Jonas has been… seeing things. His world exists in shades of gray, but he has started to see flashes of color – the red of an apple, or of a girl’s hair. What do these things mean?
