The Brentwood High theater program is bringing a hopeful, but tragic, tale to the stage beginning October 26.

Flowers for Algernon tells the story of a mentally disabled man, Charlie, and a mouse, Algernon, who undergo the same experimental surgery to increase intelligence. The show, based on a novel by Daniel Keyes, focuses on several themes, including humanity and alienation.

There will be a 7 p.m. performance on October 26, 28, 29 and 30. Tickets may be purchased online through the Brentwood High Seat Yourself page. Tickets cost $10 for adults and $8 per child 10 years old or younger.
