Breck School Fall Drama Festival

Breck School Fall Drama Festival

This year, the Breck School Performing Arts Department features two dazzling plays: Antigone, Sophocles’ haunting tragedy of a woman’s courageous rebellion against authoritarian rule and the society that confines her; and Wendy Wasserstein’s award winning comedy, The Heidi Chronicles, a funny and touching commentary on life and the timeless search for self discovery, that asks, “can women have it all?” Director Tom Hegg has put together a strong student cast for each play. Antigone runs November 14 and 15, and The Heidi Chronicles runs November 21 and 22.

Each production starts at 7:30 pm in the Cargill Theater on the Breck Campus (123 Ottawa Avenue North, Golden Valley, MN 55422). General Admission tickets are just $5.00 and are available at the door 30 minutes before the show. And, in honor of these productions, and knowing that Wasserstein’s lead character “Heidi” is a professor of art history, Breck Student Artists will exhibit their recent artistic creations as part of the production scenery in an on-stage Art Exhibit. The Exhibit will remain open for 30 minutes after each performance for viewing pleasure.
