Description
Pioneering actor, director, producer and composer Charlie Chaplin is undoubtedly one of the most important figures in film. His iconic character, The Tramp--a lovable hobo, known for his bowler hat, baggy pants and big clown-like shoes--faced adversity and overcame obstacles with comedy and good humor, but also depicted the real-life struggles Americans faced during hard times. As part of its 2016 summer festival, "Theater Takes A Stand," The Stanford Repertory Theater will showcase Chaplin's silent film classic, Modern Times, which finds The Tramp struggling to adjust to the industrialized work world. The festival runs through Aug. 15 and will also feature The Grapes of Wrath and American Dream.
