WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Mark Wing-Davey directs the world premiere of Small Tragedy, a new play by Craig Lucas. The play commences with auditions for an out-of-town production of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex and progresses through rehearsals, where backstage relationships among the six-member cast threaten to sabotage the production.

Student Rush Tickets will be available for $15 (cash only, day of performance, subject to availability).
