The 2020-2021 season at Fort Lewis College Theatre is going to be an exciting one! The Fall production of 'Edith Can Shoot Things And Hit Them', by A. Rey Pamatmat, will be streamed online!    The premiere is Friday, Nov. 27th starting at 7pm.    Go to the FLC Theatre website for more information, fortlewis.edu/theatre.   The FLC Theatre’s theme this year is diversity and inclusion, and Edith exemplifies those qualities to a tee. Three kids - Kenny, his sister Edith, and their friend Benji - are all but abandoned on a farm in remote Middle America. With little adult supervision, they feed and care for each other, making up the rules as they go. But when Kenny's and Benji's relationship becomes more than friendship, and Edith shoots something she really shouldn't shoot, the formerly indifferent outside world comes barging in whether they want it to or not.   In these times of stress and isolation, FLC Theatre hopes to bring you stories of hope, belonging and understanding. Help support Fort Lewis College Theatre in these trying times! For more information, go to www.fortlewis.edu/theatre or contact FLC Theatre at 970-247-7089.
