GW Theater Presents: Animal Farm, Jan. 30 - Feb. 1, 7:30pm

Animal Farm Poster Small

Glenbard West Theatre will present its winter drama, “Animal Farm,” from January 30
through February 1.
based on the book by George Orwell
Adapted by Ian Wooldridge

When the animals on a farm drive their master out and take over to run the farm for
themselves, all seems well… until they soon realize someone has to take the deposed
farmer’s place. The pigs step up, promising to lead with compassion that the farmer
never had–a promise soon proven empty. George Orwell’s satire on society reveals how
power can be corrupting. Although claiming equality, Napoleon (a pig) shares, “some
animals are more equal than others.”

“Animal Farm” will be presented at 7:30 p.m. January 30 through February 1 in the Larry
Shue auditorium at Glenbard West High School, 670 Crescent Blvd. in Glen Ellyn.
Tickets are $10. Purchase tickets at:
