Theatre Department Presents 'Another Antigone'
posted 2/10/09
Performances set for Feb. 19-21

ADRIAN, Mich. - Adrian College theatre presents a witty, provocative and continually absorbing examination of some of the more vexing problems besetting present-day institutions of higher education in “Another Antigone” by A.R. Gurney on February 19, 20 and 21, 2009.

After many years of teaching the classics, Professor Harper has become very protective of his beloved Greek masterpieces. So when a gifted young student announces that she intends to submit an updated, anti-nuclear version of Antigone in place of the formal paper he has assigned to her, he is adamant in his refusal. This refusal sets in motion a series of events that closely parallels the original Greek drama. The play is a provocative and continually absorbing examination of some of the more vexing problems besetting present-day institutions of higher education.

This production will play in the Downs Hall Theatre with Thursday and Friday performances at 8 P.M. and Saturday performances at 2 P.M and 8 P.M. Ticket prices are $7.00 for the general public and $5.00 for students, seniors and Adrian College staff.

Downs Hall Theatre is located of off S. Madison St. on the Adrian College campus.
