Auditions for Fall Play:
EURYDICE by Sarah Ruhl
Directed by: Jordan Haynes
What is Eurydice?
This play is a modern retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice from Eurydice's point of view. The script explores Eurydice's journey to the underworld to reconnect with her father where she encounters an array of surreal, mysterious, and sometimes silly characters. It's a play that's both tragic and touching, but it's also funny, and whimsical, and weird. It's awesome.
