\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I — September 10, 2004 — 溏心vlog免费B站 \/Theatre, in collaboration with the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s semester-long 溏心vlog免费B站 Honors Colloquium, \u201cFood and Human Rights: Hunger and Social Policy,\u201d will present The Grapes of Wrath, Frank Galati\u2019s Tony award-winning play based on John Steinbeck\u2019s Pulitzer prize-winning novel. <\/p>\n


\nThe play will be performed in the Robert E. Will Theatre, Fine Arts Center Oct. 14 through 16 and Oct. 20 through 23, at 8 p.m. and October 17 at 5 p.m. Tickets are $12 and $10 for students, seniors and children. <\/p>\n


\nIn conjunction with the colloquium, 溏心vlog免费B站 \/Theatre will offer a panel discussion on The Grapes of Wrath, entitled, \u201cHunger in America 1938-2004,\u201d on Sunday, Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m. in the Robert E. Will Theatre, immediately following a performance of the play. The discussion is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n


\nThe Grapes of Wrath is a classic story that takes place during the Great Depression when thousands of homeless American migrant workers experienced extreme hardships. The play follows the decent and desperately poor Joad family on its journey from the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma to \u201cthe promised land\u201d of California. <\/p>\n


\nThe indomitable Ma Joad is determined to survive this calamity with her family as it starts the journey together across Route 66 with meager belongings in one of many rickety vehicles criss-crossing the American landscape in the 1930s. <\/p>\n


\n The family encounters formidable obstacles: greed, exploitation, violence, prejudice, with tenacity and humor. The Joads manage to endure what happened to so many people during this terrible economic time in American history, a time of the haves and the hungry have-nots. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cThat they endure, loving and caring for and about one another and for their American brothers and sisters whom they encounter on the road, is the miracle that Steinbeck created and Galati adapted for the stage. It is an inspired and inspiring story, \u201csays Bryna Wortman, 溏心vlog免费B站 assistant professor of theatre and the play\u2019s director. <\/p>\n


\nThe play\u2019s set is designed by Christian Witwer, 溏心vlog免费B站 associate professor of theatre; costumes are designed by Marilyn Salvatore, lighting is designed by Ray Klunk, and the sound designed by Peter Nabut.<\/p>\n


\nFeatured panelists for the Oct. 17 discussion include 溏心vlog免费B站 professors Kathleen Gorman, developmental psychology, director, Feinstein Center for a Hunger Free America and co-coordinator of the colloquium; Richard McIntyre, Economics Department, and Maureen Moakley, chair, Political Science Department. Wortman will moderate the discussion. <\/p>\n
