GCT Season 53 begins with Antigone or And Still She Must Rise Up.
July 12th-28th

The plague has not yet left Thebes. In a broken world at the edge of plague, famine, and war a new leader rises. Director Jamie Boller-Raup and a cast of formidable young adults take on this compelling adaptation of Antigone that asks, "what would it take for this to no longer be a story about one girl who rises up against injustice- but for all of us to listen, rise up, and stand with her."

Showtimes are Fri/Sat 7:30pm & Sun. 2:30pm
Sensory Friendly Performance with sign language interpreter Sun. July 21st

Indigenous playwright and activist, Madeline Sayet, adapted this Greek classic during the pandemic for the 2020 moment to be performed masked and distanced deepening the impact of the plot in a modern setting. This adaptation remains relevant in 2024 without the need for pandemic precautions as all Greek dramas continue to find new life reflected in each generation.
