Antigone: A Town Hall Musical

Vine & Light / Rhymes with Purple

5 - 29 AUG (NOT 17, 24) - 15:05
A bold retelling of Sophocles's tragedy set in 1989 Thebes, California. The Oracle summons audience-citizens and invokes the ancient rites of drama and democracy to address a crisis. Two brothers, gay activist Nikolas and conservative cop Elias – are dead after a protest on the capitol steps. When the Governor proclaims one a hero and the other erased, defiant sister Tigg and best friend Henry risk everything for justice and love. The score delivers both burden and joy as it navigates human need, political greed, and grassroots resistance as survival. There is no sitting out.
