College production of
Sarah Ruhl’s
award-winning play, a
modern adaptation of the
classic myth,
“Eurydice."
“This is one of the most
ambitious projects that
the Shoreline Drama
Department has ever
undertaken. Building off
of the buzz that has
been steadily growing
around the Shoreline
theater community, the
time seemed right to
harness the enthusiasm
of the production staff
and a new group of eager
and talented actors to
take on a daring project
like this,” says
director Jesse Ross.
The scale and scope of
this production are
extraordinary, not just
for Shoreline Community
College, but for any
non-profit theater
organization in the
region. Set construction
began last summer and
the production as a
whole has relied on the
contributions of more
than 40 students,
faculty, and staff
members. Read
