The Lottery
Adapted by Brainerd Duffield
Directed by Holly Schaller
Things do not always change with the times. This small town is obsessed with tradition – which we see as they prepare for their huge annual community event. Excitement builds as everyone waits to possibly hear their name called at the town lottery.

Hannah, a high school student living with her restless sister and grandmother, thinks she is content to spend her life in her family home tending to her grandparents’ garden. A letter changes everything. While her sister applies to job after job and her grandmother struggles to cut down a dying tree, Hannah must decide the course of her life, exploring her understandings of family, memory, and home.
