2015 marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. “Lives Interrupted,” the Tred Avon Players final production of the current season, salutes our greatest generation for their sacrifices, literally placing their lives on hold to fight a war between good and evil. Opening Oct. 22 and directed by Alex Handy, it also provides an opportunity to honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve and protect our country through military service. Originally presented in 2010, “Lives Interrupted” played to sold-out audiences—including an added, unscheduled performance–throughout its run at the Oxford Community Center.
Theatergoers will also have the opportunity to see an extraordinary collection of never-before-seen World War II photographs taken by the late Norman Harrington of Oxford. The exhibition, “Up Close: WWII Through the Lens of Norman Harrington,” is sponsored by the Oxford Museum in partnership with the Oxford Community Center and the Tred Avon Players and will be on display at the OCC through November 8. The show premiers with a special talk on Saturday, October 17, at 4 p.m. by Lisa Harrington, Norman Harrington’s daughter.
Dates for performances are Fridays and Saturdays, Oct. 23, 24, 30 and 31 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 6, 7 at 8 p.m., and Nov.11 (Veterans Day) at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees Oct. 25 and Nov. 1 and 8 at 2 p.m. “Thrifty Thursday,” featuring two-for-one tickets Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. Visit www.tredavonplayers.org to buy tickets online or call 410-226-0061 to reserve seats.
