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

Military veterans and service members will be admitted free on Veterans Day.

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”.
