Rallying cries for change and revolution among oppressed segments of society have created social movements that are documented in the world of arts and literature for centuries.

And what is art if not a reflection of what we see, or want to see, in the everyday world around us? Based on actual historic events, GTA's multi-cultural production of Fuente Ovejuna, (fu-EN-tay oh-vay-HOO-nuh), which performs April 6-9examines the way the residents of a small rural town in southern Spain rebel against a military overlord abusing his power.

Drawing from the classic story of an underdog retaliating against hegemony, Lope De Vega's Fuente Ovejuna parallels a number of movements around the world today pushing back against the perceived abuse of power. Fuente Ovejuna will be the last Discovery Series production of the 2017-2018 season. The production runs at 7:30pm, April 6-9, at Brenau University's Theatre on the Square, 301 Main St SW, Gainesville. The show is rated PG13; admission is free.
