Anouilh's Antigone (Barbara Bray)

The theater program would have you believe that Anti Gone was a punk adventure about counter culture what with the spray paint lettering design on the pamphlet when in fact “Antigone” is a Greek tragedy. I bit my lip for what was sure to be a slog through antiquity. I was pleasantly surprised. The story of heroine Antigone is bold and empowering and performed very well by Brittany McGregor. But it was Creon that I enjoyed the most. Played by Miguel Perez, Creon is a tragic villain whose conflicting morals make him very sympathetic. All actors carry their roles well and utilize the small theater space to their advantage. From the front row, I had rested my feet on the stage until Creon’s booming voice made me want to reconsider.

Really young talent who, for the most part, are good. This was a master class due to the superb Miguel Perez who plays Creon…who largely dominates the play with a very good Antigone. "Amazing" because of Perez. Such a terrific riff on the story of Antigone…do not miss this!!!!... full review

To be fair, I didn't see the entire play. Partly because there were no seats and my date and I were sitting on the floor in the isle. But when people came rushing behind us in the dark clamoring for non-existent seats, it got uncomfortable very fast. So, it came down to watching the entire play while standing and peering over the tops of people's heads (I am short) or leaving. I would have stayed if the acting was amazing. But instead the lead delivered her lines without any depth. It was almost like she was trying to remember her lines- stuck on the words, not building a relationship. So again... it could have been the distraction from the audience that made this performance so lack luster. But what I experienced wasn't good at all.... full review
