Summary of the Antigone Story

In preparation for viewing "Antigone Project" at Profile Theatre (interpreted performance is on Saturday, September 10th, at 2:00 pm), here is a video of an overview of the original Antigone story. "Antigone Project" is a production of five retellings of the Antigone story. Brush up on your Antigone myth and we'll see you at the theatre this coming Saturday!

Also join us for the pre-show In Dialogue performance at 1:25 pm in the Mezzanine. For this special event, Profile Theatre is proud to be partnering with Blacque Butterfly Presents on the In Dialogue Main Stage events for The Antigone Project: A Play in Five Parts.  We have collaborated to feature a series of local spoken-word artists performing in our lobby prior to each performance of the production.  Mirroring the collection of diverse voices embodied in Antigone Project, the artists are from varied backgrounds, experiences and perspectives, all of which come to bear on the profound and provocative  work that they will be sharing with our audiences. The performers for the In Dialogue event at 1:25 pm (which will be interpreted, as well as the play) will be GG Warren and Anayla Warren-Premsingh.
