What will be her dreadful fate 

When the trumpet sounds the call 

For those who stand against the state

Agatha is a girl who stands up for her beliefs, regardless of the consequences. As student council president at Thebes High, she vigorously defends a student who is unfairly punished. Based on her actions, she could be expelled and lose an important scholarship.


Set in a modern-day high school, the play translates the original Greek chorus into a fantastic ensemble opportunity.
