As part of Piccolo Spoleto and the College’s Stelle Di Domani Series, Center Stage will present several performances of Elephant’s Graveyard.
Written by George Brant, Elephant’s Graveyard is the true tale of the tragic collision of a struggling circus and a tiny town in Tennessee, which resulted in the only known lynching of an elephant. Set in September of 1916, the play combines historical fact and legend, exploring the deep-seated American craving for spectacle, violence and revenge.
