Centenary Stage plans 'Truth' series

HACKETTSTOWN — New for the 2018-19 season Centenary Stage Company will host the Gates Ferry Series: “What is Truth?” Led by guest artists Randall Duk Kim and Anne Occhiogrosso, “What is Truth?” will feature two readings, one production, classes and workshops built around classical texts.
In this time of “Fake News” and “Alternative Truths” and convenient omission of the facts one is forced to ask “What is truth? And does it really matter?” Both these questions have served as the core inquiry of our greatest playwrights over the last two thousand years.
The program will offer two staged readings including Oedipus Rex “truth un-avoided” on Wednesday, Sept. 19 at 7:30 p.m. and King Lear “truth banished” on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m.
Finally, as a culmination of the program a full scale production of An Enemy of the People will be presented Feb. 15 through March 3.
In addition to the reading events and production, classes and workshops led by Randall Duk Kim and Anne Occhiogrosso will be offered throughout the season.
