    ANTIGONE by Sophocles, in a translation by David Mulroy
    Directed by Michole Biancosino
    With original choral compositions by Carol Christensen
    Given the choice to follow the law of the state or her own sense of duty to her family, a young woman stands up and resists, even though she risks losing everything. This timely Greek tragedy explores justice, conscience, and what it means to live by one’s beliefs.

    Please join us for a post-show talkback with the company directly after Friday’s performance.

  • Hirschfield International Film Series: The Oldest Person in the World

    Sponsored by:
    Film & Media Culture
    A ten-year worldwide exploration tracks successive holders of the oldest living person title. A study of longevity transforms into reflection on time’s flow, fate’s unpredictability, and the joy of human existence. “For a movie so filled with death, The Oldest Person in the World is surprisingly, almost confrontationally life-affirming.” - Vulture “A soft and gentle hug of a film, one that reifies life’s most sacred values while retaining the essential mystery behind our most pressing questions.” - ScreenRant Brought to you by the Hirschfield International Film Series.
