In association with Young Audiences New York, WSU Performing Arts will present the Literature to Life® stage presentation of “The Kite Runner,” by Khaled Hosseini, Wednesday, March 11, at 7:30 p.m. in Jones Theatre at Daggy Hall on
Adapted and directed by Wynn Handman, this solo performance by Sorab Wadia dramatically portrays the relationship of two boys — Amir, a privileged Pashtun, and Hassan, a Hazara servant — amid the turmoil of 1970s Afghanistan.
The script is drawn verbatim from the first half of the bestselling novel, mirroring Hosseini’s original short story, and the production features original Afghani music as backdrop to the performance. Discussions before and after the performance will illuminate themes of redemption and class systems.
Tickets cost $14 for adults, $12 for seniors ages 60 and up, and $7 for non-WSU students and youth, and free admission for WSU students (with valid ID). Reserved seating tickets may be purchased in advance at all TicketsWest outlets, including online at TicketsWest.com, by phone at 800-325-SEAT (7328), and in person at the Beasley Coliseum ticket office (open weekdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.).
