Peru Theatre Company presents: Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom

Peru Theatre Company wraps up the Fall 2022 season with Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom by Jennifer Haley. The film is directed by a senior student, Austin Martin (Falls City). It features a cast of fifteen new and returning Peru Theatre Company members. Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom (or N3RD as we call it) is a dark comedy that is set in Suburbia, the world of an online horror video game. Relationships between parents and their children break down with increases in teens’ addiction to the game. As the rules of the game, reality, and virtual lines blur, we are compelled to question our own relationships and ask: “Who do I think you are?”

“Gratitude for Grandparents”

A three-pound baby entered the world in recent days. This precious child was born after his Mom spent seven weeks in the hospital on bedrest. At home, Dad and two siblings were working, going to school, and worrying. Surrounding the family were two sets of grandparents who ensured that the pieces all fell into place. From meals and lawn care, to virtual school, from evening shifts and overnights to early mornings, these grandparents were there every step of the way. They will continue to offer support while the baby remains hospitalized and growing, and after he comes home, because that is what grandparents do, if they are able.
