Thursday, May 2 at 3:30 p.m.

In collaboration with decorated playwright Megan Tabaque, Inner-City Arts’ Work of Art interns are excited to present the Los Angeles premiere of a new adaptation of Antigone. Set in a fictional border town, the team refocuses Sophocles’ ancient Greek tragedy of rebellion, banishment, and fatal consequences into a contemporary Latine tale of power, resilience, and relentless fervor of teenage girls as agents of change.

Produced and directed by Inner-City Arts Associate Director of Work of Art Holli Hornlien.

Megan Tabaque is a writer, director, and actor of mixed Filipina-Canadian descent who writes to create new mythologies using pop cultural tropes as accessible entry points for hot-button issues. She’s written for theater, fiction, and the immersive, weirdo-giants at Meow Wolf. Her work has been developed, commissioned, and produced by Alliance Theater, Salvage Vanguard Theater, Tofte Lake Center, the Workshop Theater, Paper Chairs, and Vanderbilt University, among others. She is a James A. Michener Fellow, Kundiman Fiction Fellow, Sewanee Writers’ Conference Scholar, Seattle Public Theater Emerald Prize finalist, Playwrights’ Realm Scratchpad Series semi-finalist, a 2021 Four Seasons Residency nominee, and was the 2021-23 Emory Fellow of Playwriting. She is current Visiting Professor of Playwright at UC Riverside and has taught creative writing at prestigious institutions throughout the United States.

Appropriate for audiences age 13+
