Are you interested in acting? Whether you have experience or not, all are welcome to audition for the senior directed senior project, Flowers for Algernon.<\/p>\n
Flowers for Algernon is a one act play that follows Charlie Gordon, a non neurotypical individual, and the strange interweaving of Charlie\u2019s life with that of Algernon, a lab mouse. Experimental surgery has been performed on Algernon increasing his intelligence fourfold. The operation is tried on Charlie, who rapidly changes from an IQ of 68 to a genius level, far more intelligent than Charlie\u2019s teacher or the doctors who created the operating technique. As Charlie approaches the peak of brilliance, Algernon shows frightening symptoms of regression. This play comments on how society views intelligence and the treatment of individuals who do not fit into society\u2019s pre-determined boxes. This show is poignant, romantic, funny, and tragic, but with hope of Charlie\u2019s indomitable spirit and kindness, we can all learn to love who we are.<\/p>\n
