Linfield Theatre: "The K of D"

The Linfield Theatre Program presents The K of D in the Ford Hall lobby at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 27 and Saturday, Feb. 28. Directed by senior Theatre Arts and Music major David Stephens, The K of D follows the story of Charlotte McGraw, a young girl struggling to come to terms with the death of her twin brother, Jamie. It also follows the growing "legend" of Charlotte, as narrated by the other youth in her small town. As with all great legends, truth and fiction become inextricably linked in this story. The truth is that Charlotte's brother was hit by a car and died in her arms. The truth is that moments before he died, he kissed her, gently, on the lips. The legend is that everything Charlotte kissed from that moment forward also died. The K of D begins upon the discovery of her new "skill" and tracks the events that transpire when the man who killed her brother returns to town and Charlotte and her friends attempt to get rid of him. The story purposely blurs the line between fact and fiction.… Categories: McMinnville Campus, Students, Linfield Faculty, Alumni, Open to the Public, Linfield Staff.
