Love, death and rock and roll take center stage in the Shoreline Community 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.
