The Graduate

Benjamin’s got excellent grades, very proud parents and, since he helped Mrs. Robinson with her zipper, a fine future behind him….A cult novel, a classic film, a quintessential hit of the 1960s, now a young man’s disastrous sexual odyssey is brought to life in this Austin theatre premiere production. Terry Johnson’s stage adaptation follows recent college graduate Benjamin Braddock’s journey toward finding himself — with detours including run-ins with his establishment parents, an affair with older family friend Mrs. Robinson, and a budding romance with her daughter, Elaine. The Graduate is the story of a promising young man trying to make sense of an adult world he must face for the very first time.
