Piedmont Theatre to present 'Hush: An Interview With America' Nov. 20-23

DEMOREST - A lion lurks across the countryside, a reporter jumps out of the TV screen, FBI agents appear from the microwave; and they are all looking for the same thing: Maggie. An 11 year old girl from Hush, Kansas, Maggie Parks has a vivid imagination. She dances with angels and talks with lions. But, when a television reporter believes Maggie really can see angels, she and her father are thrust into a media spotlight that threatens to destroy them both. Can fantasy live in the era of the 24-hour news cycle? "Hush: An Interview with America" is a look at the modern media through a child's eyes.<br /> <br /> Presented in the Swanson Center Blackbox Theater in Demorest, performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Nov. 20-22; and 2 p.m., Nov. 23. General Admission tickets are $5. Piedmont College students, faculty and staff are admitted free. Tickets can be purchased online at www.piedmont.edu/fa by clicking on "PC Theatre Schedule," or by calling the Piedmont College Box Office at 706-778-8500 x 1355.
