Clare is just a regular noblewoman living in 1211 Italy, gossiping with her sister and her ladies’ maids, dreaming up plans for new dresses and maybe even a future marriage. When she encounters the eccentric Francis of Assisi, her worldview is shaken by his unusual views on poverty and privilege. As Clare and Francis’ friendship grows, they wrestle with questions of what it means to be a good person in a devastating world. How can one truly live in service to others? Is there such a thing as doing enough? How can we accept a world in which our fellow humans are suffering and, if we cannot, how do we face that suffering head on?

Set in a modern-day, war-torn country, the story of Antigone wrestles with the themes of power/higher power, faith, family, and the tortuous continuation of familial trauma. All set against one brave character (Antigone) who is determined to end the cycle and find resolve, though the stakes could not be higher.

Tickets for both shows go on sale in October.
