If everyone around you started turning into a rhinoceros, would you do it too? That’s the dilemma that confronts the inhabitants of a small town in this absurdist drama about the pressures to conform. Originally published in 1957, Rhinoceros blends humor and philosophy to examine the dangers of extremism and the fate of the lone everyman who stands up to the powerful influence of the group.

Berenger, the play’s hero, faces a difficult choice: undergo a terrifying metamorphosis or defy his friends and hold onto his humanity. As relevant today as when it was first performed, Rhinoceros will make you laugh while exploring difficult questions about freedom, power, and individual responsibility.

Rhinoceros features a talented cast of 15 ACTors aged 12-18 from six local towns. Performances will be held on Thursday, December 3 at 7 PM; Friday, December 4 at 7 PM; and Saturday December 5 at 2 PM at the Arlington Center for the Arts located at 41 Foster St., Arlington, MA. Tickets are $10.00, available at the door or online. For more information visit http://act.arlington.ma.us.
