LANSING, Mich., March 27, 2026, LCC Performing Arts presents 1984 by George Orwell. Adapted for the stage by Nick Hern.
Winston Smith is in prison, found guilty of Thoughtcrimes against Big Brother. As part of his reconstruction, he must re-enact key moments from his past life, with the help of other thought criminals, so that everyone can learn from his mistakes. Including his biggest mistake of all: falling in love with Julia.
Orwell's classic dystopian novel is a still-resonant vision of the tolls of living under totalitarianism. Constructed almost entirely from dialogue taken from the original novel, this bold and powerful dramatization restores the blazing heart of Orwell's work: a doomed love story, with the lovers at its center.
Admission is free. Audience members should visit the box office to pick up a seat voucher for entry into the theater. The box office will open ½ hour before curtain. Reservations will not be taken.
