The Children's Hour - NIU School of Theatre and Dance

by Lillian Hellman
Directed by Andrea J. Dymond

"A serious and adult play about two women who run a school for girls. After a malicious youngster starts a rumor about the two women, the rumor soon turns to scandal. As the young girl comes to understand the power she wields, she sticks by her story, which precipitates tragedy for the women. It is later discovered that the gossip was pure invention, but it is too late. Irreparable damage has been done." - Dramitists Play Service (dramatists.com)
