Information about the Show:
Title: BOX (a One Act play) [Length: 35-40 min]
Author: Lindsey Price 
Summary of what the play is about:
Sometimes we choose the way the world sees us. Black box - indestructible. Jewelry box - plain on the outside, shiny on the inside. Sometimes our box is defined by others - our parents, our friends, our enemies. A box built by others can feel small, confined, impossible. How do we handle the boxes imposed upon us?  Do we have to live with our box other people build around us for the rest of our lives? Can we change?
Performance date: May 5th (Friday)
Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Event Center/Cafeteria
