OCC Production of 'The Shape of Things' Closes This Weekend

How much would you change for the one you love? What lines might you cross in the name of “art”?

Neil LaBute’s play The Shape of Things, which ends its run this weekend at campus in Farmington Hills, finds its voice in those questions.

Set in a small Midwest college town, the play revolves around four students whose lives are on a collision course. Taking a very contemporary look at the gender war’s frontline and the layers of treachery involved in manipulating another’s will to your own, The Shape of Things shines a very harsh light on the issue of whether “the end justifies the means”.

The Shape of Things contains adult themes and strong adult language. This play is not recommended for children.

Performances are Nov. 10, 11 and 12, at 8 p.m. On Veteran's Day, Nov. 11, all military veterans and current service members will be admitted to the performance free of charge.

“It’s our very small way of saying ‘thank you’ to all the men and women who have served," director Dennis North said.

General admission is $8; $5 for students and seniors. Purchase tickets by phone, 248-522-3666 or in person at the Orchard Ridge Raiders Bookstore.
