THE CHILDREN'S HOUR
Sept 20 - Oct 5, 2024 at Irving Arts Center
By Lillian Hellman
Directed by Lindsey Humphries
An unruly student at a rural Massachusetts boarding school falsely accuses her two female teachers of engaging in a romantic relationship. Suddenly, the two women must navigate the truth among the lies as they fight to save their reputations, their families, and the school itself. But as the schoolgirl’s rumor escalates to scandal and the outraged community quickly withdraws all of their students, a witch hunt ensues that ultimately leads to terrible and tragic consequences. A compelling drama that sheds light on loyalty, intolerance, and the power of gossip!
