Inner Circle, Theater 150 Announce

Co-Production of Eurydice. 

Orpheus was the greatest musician, Eurydice was his wife. Eurydice dies on the day of their wedding, and Orpheus descends into the underworld to find her. He convinces Hades, Lord of The Underworld, to return his bride, but at the crucial moment he looks back and she is lost forever.   

Much has been written of the Orpheus myth ever since Ovid first copied it down around the time of Christ. However, in 2000 years of literary history, almost nothing is said about his bride. Sarah Ruhl’s touching adaptation is more concerned with Eurydice’s point of view, as is evidenced by the title of the play. Who is this Eurydice? Why is she silent? What is her side of the story?   

Elizabeth Rosengren, former artistic director of Theater 150, delights us in the title role while the play is deftly staged by award winning director Elli Resvanis. Support comes from Theater 150 company members Leslie Paxton (Happy Days and Stop Kiss at Theater 150) and Ron Feltner (The Seahorse at Theater 150 and Proof at the Art Center ). The cast is rounded out with Kennedy Center award winner Ryan Mueller, and Inner Circle Directors Chris Cotone and Jewels Eubanks.   

Eurydice runs July 21 to July 30. Performances are Friday’s and Saturday’s at 8:00 pm. Sunday July 23 at 2:00 pm and Sunday July 30 at 7:00 pm.
