?Antigone? Poster Showtimes:

Oct. 6-8 | 7:30 p.m.

Antigone is the daughter of the great Oedipus. When you’re born to parents as infamous as hers, the pressure is mounting from the very start of your life. That pressure grows exponentially when her brother, Polynices, is killed. King Creon rules that under no circumstances may Polynices be mourned. If he is to be defied, the punishment is death by stoning. Antigone, brave in her own right, ignores the threat and goes through with a ceremony to honor her late brother. Antigone tells the story of family, the truth of the divine, and how far one is willing to go to be loyal.

“Antigone,” written by the great Sophocles, is a classic piece of Greek theater. It has been performed for centuries all over the world and tells a timeless story that will entrance audience members to the core. The cast of “Antigone” has the opportunity to share the truth of a woman who is strong and a life that is meaningful.
