What happens when a single person stands up to resist oppression? Based on the ancient Greek tragedy of Antigone, the story of a daughter in a powerful family tries to bury her brother’s corpse against the dictates of her uncle Creon. The Penn Theatre Arts Program production explores Antigone’s journey as she takes a stand against oppression through a simple but radical act. Set in a not-so-distant Riot Grrrl future, join us as we consider resistance, oppression, the tragedy and divisiveness of war, and the power of finding your voice.
