“Antigone” is adapted by David Rush from the play by Sophocles.

After a case of sibling rivalry culminates in civil war, King Creon of Thebes forbids anyone from burying the traitor who started it.

When his niece Antigone is not content to let her brother go without proper funeral rites, takes matters into her own hands, she sparks a family feud that pits father against son, sister against sister, and civil law against the gods.

Patrick McElroy is the director, and Nick Paparone is the student director.
