Jean Anouilh's modernized version of the classic Greek tragedy Antigone sets the story in the sleek palace of a fascist state ruled by Creon. His niece Antigone is horrified by Creon's order that the body of her brother--who led a rebellion against the state--be left on the battlefield to rot. The great strength of Antigone is that there is no easy solution to the conflict, which leads to disaster for everyone involved. With fierce originality, this powerful adaptation of the Sophocles tragedy presents a world of honor, treachery and fateful consequences. Jean Anouilh, one of the foremost French playwrights of the twentieth century, replaced the realist works of the previous era with his dramas, which exploit fantasy, tragic passion, scenic poetry and cosmic leaps in time and space. He used Greek myth to explore the disturbing moral dilemmas of our times. This version of Antigone was performed in 1944 in Nazi-controlled Paris.

NO, NO, NANETTE is a lighthearted framework for the music of Vincent Youman. This is the story of Jimmy Smith, and all the trouble he gets into and out of on a summer weekend. Included in the score are two of the most famous show tunes ever written: Tea for Two and I Want to Be Happy. Standard numbers like Too Many Rings Around Rosie and You Can Dance with Any Girl at All accompany many other delightful songs. The whole experience is refreshing, silly and uplifting! 4 Tony Awards for Choreography, Costume Design, Actress and Featured Actress 3 Drama Desk Awards for Book, Choreography and Costume Design The Outer Critics Circle Award for Production
