After Eurydice

November 2nd, Eclectic

Written by Liv Snow '25

After Eurydice is a one-act play featuring vignettes of Greek mythical characters after their “story” ends. How does Orpheus grieve? What is Galatea’s purpose? How does Daedalus remember his son? What does it mean to grow beyond a transformative moment of your life? After Eurydice aims to bring its modern audience closer to the past, reminding us that we feel the same anger, frustration, joy, and love as all humans who came before us.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

November 8th-9th, '92 Theater

 

This production is based on Oscar Wilde’s only novel. The story follows Dorian Gray after he wishes he could remain young and beautiful like his newly completed portrait. We then follow his life as he spirals downward and treats others with cruelty. Eerily, his wish comes true because as the years go by, his youth remains while his portrait grows increasingly ugly with his misdeeds.

The Trail to Oregon!

November 15th-16th, '92 Theater

 

“The Trail to Oregon!” is a knee-slapping musical comedy based on the classic 1980s video game. The story concerns the journey of a family of five headed down the titular trail in 1848, as they navigate extremely daring and stupid situations. Throughout their path, they will encounter bandits, talking buffalo, sleazy businessmen, and worst of all—dysentery. But what are the names of these characters? And who will meet an unfortunate fate? Well, that’s for the audience to decide! Hop on the trail, and join us on a wild ox chase to the great state of Oregon.
