A timeless act of defiance takes center stage as ANTIGONE closes the season at Grossmont College. In ANTIGONE, one woman’s courage ignites a battle between personal conviction and political power. When Antigone dares to bury her brother—branded a traitor by the state—she defies King Creon’s decree and risks everything to honor the dead. What follows is a gripping clash of wills where justice, morality, and loyalty collide, and the cost of pride and power becomes devastatingly clear. “For 2500 years, people have been telling the story of Antigone,” says director Shana Wride. “She is the original rebel.” This ancient tale still resonates today—don’t miss this powerful, haunting drama that asks: when the law is unjust, what is your duty?
