Director's Note
This production will always be special to me, not only because of my enjoyment of what has been a rich and rewarding rehearsal process, but also because it is my last as core faculty in Penn’s Theatre Arts program. Eurydice is a perfect retirement metaphor: it is about looking back (and not looking back), as much as it is about looking ahead. Like Orpheus and Eurydice, I am navigating worlds and time in new ways, with an especially rich appreciation of my goodfortune in students and colleagues during the last 23 years at Penn. I dedicate this production to the memory of one of the best and brightest of these, my good friend and a dear and talented colleague: Peter Whinnery.
