THEATRE: The Altruists
April 13, 2024

Studio A
This hilarious comedy revolves around a dedicated, if disorganized and demented, group of young radicals. These are the kids who protest. They protest arts funding and arms funding. They protest school cutbacks and AIDS cutbacks and welfare cutbacks. They march for gay rights and children’s rights and Women Against Drunk Drivers. But their morality is put to the test one day when Sydney, a shallow, anorexic soap-opera actress, fires a gun into the hulking body of her sleeping boyfriend. The Altruists is presented as part of our ParksideSTUDIO series and features the work of student-directors and student-designers.
