EURYDICE

SEP 23 — OCT 17, 2021

WRITTEN by Sarah Ruhl
DIRECTED by Mike Werckle

In Eurydice, Sarah Ruhl reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine.

Eurydice embarks on an epic adventure into the underworld, where she reunites with her father, meets Hades and struggles to remember her long lost love. With quirky characters and ingenious plot twists, Eurydice is a magical reimagining of the classic Myth of Orpheus!

Eurydice was our first show since we closed for the COVID-19 pandemic.
