SUMMER 2026MAY 8-24
Antigone by Sophocles, Translated by Dudley Fitts & Robert Fitzgerald; Director: Kaylee Loxton Greek Tragedy; Description: Thebes' civil war has ended. Creon, the ascending king, proclaims, "Regarding the bodies of the sons of Oedipus: Eteocles, a hero who fought for Thebes…will be given a hero's burial…But for Polyneices who recruited foreign troops to attack our home—let his corpse rot under the sweltering sun, food for the birds and the dogs…Anyone who dares to bury the enemy will be publicly executed." So begins this adaptation of Antigone, who battles Creon, her uncle, for the right in God's name to bury her dead brother, Polyneices, but loses that fight in a horrifying conclusion to this story. Antigone is usually seen as the righteous heroine while Creon is the hated villain. However, in this version, we take a fresh look at Antigone's own rigidity as an equal contributor to this story's devastating ending. Viewed as a contest between equally determined and fierce competitors, both right and both wrong, the play is an intense examination of the questions: "How can one penetrate the absolute certainty and righteousness of political or religious leaders who refuse to listen?" "What happens when neither side in a conflict agrees to yield?" "What happens when one sees the catastrophic consequences of one's actions too late?" The path taken here—vengeance will breed vengeance—is a shattering lesson for our times. JULY 10-26 *Trail To Oregon Book - Jeff Blim, Nick Lang, Matt Lang; Additional Writing - Brian Holden Music - Jeff Blim; Additional Music - Drew DeFour; Starkid Director: Sami Jex Historical Musical Comedy; Description: The Trail to Oregon is an adult comedy musical loosely based off of the classic video game "The Oregon Trail". We follow a pioneer family as they face many challenges on their journey such as the Bandit King, lobsters with grudges, a very horny ox, and a whole lot of dysentery. The audience will have the opportunity to take the reins of this story and make decisions that will lead to hilarious outcomes. No two shows are the same! WARNING: Adult language, adult situations, but most importantly, a whole lot of dysentery. AUGUST 6-23 (Special open Thurs for 10 yr at TCS, **potential MV Park August 1 & 2) Will On the Water: As You Like It by William Shakespeare, edited by Regina Spain Director: Regina Spain Comedy; Description: As You Like It follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden. In the forest, they encounter a variety of memorable characters, notably the melancholy traveler Jaques, who speaks one of Shakespeare's most famous speeches ("All the world's a stage") and provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play, always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country. |
