The Southwestern College theatre department will present “Antigone” on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25 and 26, at 7:30 p.m., and on Sunday, Feb. 27 at 2 p.m., in the Richardson Performing Arts Center located on the main level of the Christy Administration Building.  

Jamieson Campo will direct “Antigone” adapted by Lewis Galantiere from the play by Jean Anouilh.

When her dead brother is declared a traitor, his body left exposed beyond the city walls, Antigone refuses to accept this most severe of punishments. Defying her uncle King Creon, she dares to say, “No.” Forging ahead with a funeral alone, she places personal allegiance before politics, an act that triggers a cycle of destruction.

The cast includes Maya Damron as Antigone; Emily Robinson as Ismene; Markie Swanson as Haemon; Allyson Moon as Creon; and Carter Humphreys, Jordan Burford, and Brett Leise as the Chorus.

Admission charge is $12 for adults, $6 for students, $10 for seniors (65+), and SC students and employees are free. For tickets or other information, call (620) 229-6272, or email boxoffice@sckans.edu.
