About this event
APRIL 29 @ 7:30 p.m.: "Winter's End" opens our festival with an absurdist version of the Persephone myth from Greek legend, questioning the fact that Persephone makes no choices of her own.
APRIL 30 @ 3:00 p.m.: Our Saturday matinee, "Kalos K'agathos," reveals Medusa in Hell, and her sister-Gorgons intent on breaking her out.
APRIL 30 @ 7:30 p.m.: Saturday night offers "Suff*rage," a bloody, bawdy, feminist revenge fantasy centered around women’s suffrage…and maybe a zombie.
--Each performance will offer a short talk-back session afterwards.
