Antigone

VANCOUVER, WA: Antigone is one of a trilogy of plays that Sophocles wrote called the Theban plays. It is the
story of a young girl's conviction to do what she feels is right when the laws of the land, and her uncle Creon,
the King, are against her. As the story plays out, we see the connections Antigone has through her strong
character and a good heart and how those qualities begin to unravel the ground on which Creon stands.

“I love the Greek tragedies,” said Jeffrey Puukka, Director. “I love their ability to tap into humanity’s primal
nerves. When it comes to Antigone, I love its murkiness and unresolved conflict. I have loved watching this
group get to know one another, collaborate, cross-pollinate creatively, and discover its voice as a community.”

These performances are part of the Teen Conservatory at MPA, starring Molly Jung as Antigone, Sabrina
Fricchione as Ismene, Dan Sweet as Creon, Hannah Flynn as Eyes/Eurydice, Brady Workman as
Guard/Haemon, and Nancy Campbell as Tiresias with direction by Jeffrey Puukka and Choreography by
Shannon Jung.

“The reason I decided to do theater in the first place because I love to sing, dance, pretend, and use my
imagination,” says Hannah Flynn, who plays Eurydice. “And theater has all of that. Plus it gives me a chance to
have fun singing, dancing and pretending with my friends. That’s why I decided to do theater in the first
place.”
