Catch-22

by Joseph Heller
performed by the Aquila Theatre Company

Wednesday, April 16 at 7 p.m. 

Presented by Silver Center.
In one of the greatest modern American novels ever written, Joseph Heller wowed the baby boomer generation with this allegorical tale first published during the Vietnam War. Now, in Heller's own stage adaptation, Yossarian, Major Major and Milo Minderbinder come to life in the exuberant and inventive hands of the Aquila Theater Company. Through physical theatre and acute attention to language, Catch-22 is a dynamic, timely and hilarious production that captures the classic bureaucratic absurdity and irrational madness of war that drives Yossarian to exclaim "Complete strangers keep trying to kill me!"

"With precision, sensitivity and unity of ensemble, The Aquila Theatre Company articulates the human essence inherent in classical drama.  Combining the techniques of British and American theatre and following a philosophy of theatrical utilitarianism, Aquila believes that the greatest works should be seen by the greatest number.” Peter Meineck, Artistic Director
