The Antigone Project

Richard Romagnoli directs this prologue and five short plays, four of which were written by women playwrights of color. Each takes a spin on the original Greek tragedy about a young woman who defies the state to uphold a religious principle—the unwritten law of the gods—condemning herself to death. Not tragedies in the classical sense, these contemporary plays are sometimes broadly comical, serious, and warmly human. Sponsored by the Theatre Program. Tickets: $12/10/6; on sale October 10
