Director s Note I was intrigued by this play because the action of the story deals not as much with the myth of Orpheus descending into the underworld to reclaim his bride from death, but more as the Hero s Journey of a girl on the path from childhood to adulthood. This story deals with a girl making the choices that influence the course of her path, and affirms that actions do indeed have consequences. It is left to each audience member to individually ponder the ancient Greek concept of fate versus that of free will. I see Eurydice posing the question to us: are we capable of (or in control of) transcending the obstacles that will either allow us to transition into adulthood or will we stay forever in our juvenile (unrealized) state? Student Spotlight As you enjoy Sarah Ruhl s Eurydice, pay close attention to the elements of the set design because they tell a story of their own. Senior Theatre student, Josh Evans, made sure of it. The Salt Lake City native spent the Fall Semester researching the historical context and metaphorical connotations of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth for his Senior Honors Thesis. His hope was to help influence the directorial choices in a way that would successfully synthesize theoretical concepts with their practical applications to strengthen the theatrical experience. One particular area of focus for Josh was the role of nature within the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Although not explicitly stated in the play, Eurydice was an oak nymph which may help explain Orpheus deep connection with the natural world. Additionally, the stunning, metal weeping willow you see on stage plays an intricate symbolic role in both the myth and the play. While watching the story unfold, keep a close eye on the use of water as a way of dilineating the living from the dead. Josh will lead a talkback session about his research directly following the performance on Sunday, February 28th.

Uncle Joe s Pizza Eyestyles Fireweed Dry Cleaning Anchorage Community Theatre Cyrano s Theatre Company Perseverance Theatre The Wolfpack Theatre Club About UAA Theatre and Dance The UAA Department of Theatre and Dance offers an excellent B.A. degree in Theatre with concentrations in Performance, Technial Theatre, or Dance, as well as a minor in Theatre, and a minor in Dance. The department has been a major contributor to the Anchorage Arts community for over a quarter century, and department graduates and current majors can be found participating in nearly every major theatre company throughout the state. Some have started successful companies of their own. The department is viewed as a statewide training center for new talent and as a resource by local performance groups who often ask for assistance in design, lighting, costuming, construction, and dialects. Our acting students also role play for the UAA Nursing program, and local attorneys. Our B.A. in Theatre, as well as the B.A. in Theatre with a Dance Emphasis, are especially suited to the needs of Alaska. Given the great diversity within the state, Alaska s university students have many different reasons for attending. Some students are eager to continue their education elsewhere after graduation, but many want to stay in their home state and contribute locally. As such the department seeks to provide each student with a broad spectrum theatre education so they are prepared to continue down whichever path they choose. To this extent, based on reports the department has received from former students on the success of many theatres in Anchorage and the state who, to a large extent are using talent trained at UAA, the department has been successful in its mission.
