2025 Production // 4-7 December

Animal Farm presented by Lindsay Street Players

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”

George Orwell’s dystopian novel, Animal Farm, tells the story of a rebellion on Manor Farm against the cruel farmer, Mr. Jones. A new order is established, but soon unease and fear take hold as the leader Napoleon and his pig class rule with an iron fist. This is a cautionary tale of how revolution can go wrong, as genuine disaffection becomes corrupted by a ruthless political class.

This new version, adapted for stage by Riley McLean, is an ensemble piece catered to the skills of the cohort and number of students.

This production will be presented by our 2025 Think Beyond Drama cohort under LINDSAY STREET PLAYERS!

Creative Team: 

Director/Choreographer: Samuel Jenkins (He/Him) & Riley McLean (They/Them)
