The Orwell Project -- February & March 2004

With educational programs and bold new adaptations of 1984 and Animal Farm, Synapse promotes the idea that freedom and equality, the cornerstones of the American way of life, are only as secure as our own willingness to participate in our democratic system.

:: More about 1984 :: More about Animal Farm

The Orwell Project is a six-week multi-disciplinary arts and education event designed to inspire audiences and young people to affirm a commitment to civic participation and social responsibility.

In presenting 1984 and Animal Farm, we further our mission to create theatrical works of genuine social relevance. In rounding out The Orwell Project with conferences and workshops, we affirm our belief that to change the society in which we live, we must also create a forum for that change to take hold.
