1984 Project is an immersive theatrical exploration of George Orwell’s dystopian classic, a cautionary satire on totalitarianism. Forbidden love is at the center of resistance and revolution against Big Brother’s “doublethink” declarations: War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, & Ignorance is Strength. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Antigonick

Saturday, November 15, 2:00pm & 7:30pm
Sunday, November 16, 2:00pm
Anne Carson’s version of Sophokles’ Antigone is uniquely her own. She forefronts the difficulty of translation, the disturbing inevitability of tragedy, and flexes the boundaries of textual fidelity in service of generations of poets, writers, artists, and humans who have wrangled with the questions of the play, “Who’s law?!” and “What’s the cost of protest?”

Spring 2026
Promenade
An experimental musical comedy
Book and lyrics by María Irene Fornés and music by Rev. Al Carmines
Directed by Ken Prestininzi
Musical direction by David Marottolo
Athey Center, Palmer Auditorium
Friday, February 27, 7:30pm
Saturday, February 28, 7:30pm
Sunday, March 1, 2:00pm
We’re excited to revive Promenade by Maria Irene Fornés and Al Carmines, a 1960’s vaudeville musical. Two marginalized fugitives, known only as 105 and 106, bop about an absurd capricious world outsmarting a lively cast of characters. Through madcap scenarios and playful songs, Promenade prizes the free spirit over material comforts and explores the ways social expectations imprisons or liberates our dreams.
