OPENING NIGHT! E
URYDICE! OPENING NIGHT! EURYDICE!
classic Eurydice and Orpheus tale. It
and a Lord of the Underworld, who can be seen riding a tricycle.
In keeping with the play's Greek origins,
the Stones serve as a new take on a Greek chorus. The Stones comment on the action and warn the characters, but cannot intervene in any
of the events.
The play explores relationships, love, communication, and the permeability between the world of the living and the world of the dead, in a quest to discover where true meaning lies in life and thereafter.
Directed by Shawn M Riley
The play runs October 22, 23, 24, 29, 30 & 31. Curtain at 7:30 pm in the Ballard High School Earl Kelly Performing Arts Center.
Advance tickets at
SHOWTIX4U.com /Adults: $15, Students, Staff & Seniors: $10
