antigone in munich
by claudia hass
directed by sofia hernandez
“somebody, after all, had to make a start. what we wrote and said is also believed by many others. they just don't dare express themselves as we did.” – sophie scholl
sophie scholl was a member of the white rose society in nazi germany which encouraged passive resistance against the totalitarian government. antigone in munich chronicles her coming of age and development from bystander to witness to activist. this student-directed production by playwright claudia haas was inspired by sophocles' greek tragedy antigone which asks “what do you do when the laws of man contradict the laws of god?”

much ado about nothing
by william shakespeare
directed by scott baker
"when i said i would die a bachelor, i did not think i should live till i were married."
one of shakespeare's most enduring comedies, much ado about nothing tells the story of soldiers returning from war and seeking peace and domesticity, ready to celebrate the impending wedding of claudio and hero. not everyone is keen on matrimony, though, as the iconic "will-they-or-won't-they" couple benedick and beatrice flirt they way through oaths against marriage, and the dastardly don john seeks to spoil the nuptials out of spite. will love triumph? come see this timeless story of the power of love to make us brave.
