Antigone

[Robin]

I tooted my own horn in a different post, but now I cannot contain myself. (No Jokes...) I have been rehearsing at River Stage at Cosumnes River college since February. The result of this hard work opened last week. "Antigone" by Brecht. The original story is by Sophocles about 500BC. It is a Greek tragedy, staged to be relevant today. We received 3 1/2 stars out of 4 from the Bee and a full smiley Shakespeare from Sacramento News and Review! We have shows 7:30pm on Thursdays, 8pm on Fri. and Sat. and 2pm. Sunday. The play runs through May 18th. Riverstage.org has ticket info, or call 916-691-7364 for the box office. I have been working at this theater for over 8 years, mostly in set painting. Even my youngest son appeared in 2 shows there! I really hope you come see me (I'm an Elder.) and I hope you check out the reviews and for more fun research the story of Antigone!

Thank you !!! I am about to head out for my 3rd weekend of performances! I have had many family members attend, I am waiting to see some R.M. faces! We have excellent reviews in the Bee, SNR and our local NPR! Our Thursday 7:30pm show and our 2p.m. Sunday shows have cheaper tickets than the Sat. and Fri. 8pm shows. Go to dinner in Elk Grove after the Sunday show, or come back to R.M. and discuss the show over appetizers at the Club,(...or BBQ at home!) Add some more culture into your life! Look what good it's done me! (snicker!) Hope to see ya there!

Last weekend !!! If you want to see "Antigone" only 4 more performances! Thursday 7:30pm, Fri. and Sat. 8pm and Sunday 2pm are our shows. We have had great responses, so many people waiting after the shows to tell us their feelings! Very positive! The theater is air-conditioned, good way to get out of the heat and into the hot drama! Riverstage.org. See Ya!
