Antigone: from the NC Stage Community Tour

Aug. 2nd — Aug. 13th, 2023

This production has closed.

Directed by Patrice Foster

In the aftermath of a civil war pitting brother against brother, the new king of Thebes has lost two nephews in battle. He announces celebratory funeral rites for the brother he deems a hero and orders public disgrace for the brother thought a traitor.  The story follows their sister, Antigone, as she defies the commands of her uncle to properly bury the body of her brother in a stand for human dignity above man-made laws.

About the Community Tour

The mission of the Community Tour is to bring dynamic performances to audiences who experience barriers to attending live theatre.

Community Tour performances are coordinated with and performed for audiences in non-traditional spaces such as homeless shelters, correctional facilities, community centers, low income senior centers and locations throughout rural Western North Carolina.  For schools, the Community Tour offers student workshops with teaching artists from the Ensemble. The Community Tour also includes a series of ticketed performances for audiences at NC Stage.  Performances at NC Stage are staged in an intimate setting with all the lights on so our audiences may enjoy the performance as it is experienced at each tour location.

Ticket Pricing and Seating
Because accessibility is at the heart of the mission of the Community Tour, all tickets for performances of Antigone at NC Stage will follow our Pay What You Can pricing structure. With a nominal ticket minimum of $5 –and the choice to pay a higher ticket price if that fits your budget– we aim to lower financial barriers which might otherwise prevent patrons from attending. Those who can afford a higher-priced ticket help support production, allowing us the ability to offer lower prices for those who need it.

All seats are general admission. Accessible seating is available; if you need to reserve accessible seating, please contact the box office. We are happy to help.

If the ticket minimum is still out of reach for you, please call or email the box office at 828-239-0263 or [email protected] to procure a ticket free of charge. Lack of funds should not prevent anyone from seeing the show.
