Antigone
A play by Sophocles | Adapted by Ken Kaissar | Directed by Amy Kaissar

One king. One law. One defiant act that changes everything.

February 2–21, 2027

An electrifying retelling of the Greek classic, Antigone is the story of a young woman who refuses to obey an unjust law. When the king forbids her from honoring her fallen brother, she makes a bold and dangerous decision: she will stand by her principles, no matter the cost. What follows is a gripping clash between personal conviction and political power, family loyalty and state control. Fierce, fearless, and unwavering, Antigone embodies courage—proof that a single voice can uphold the foundations of a nation. High-stakes and emotionally charged, Antigone is a powerful story of womanhood, resistance, and the strength it takes to stand alone.
