CLARKSVILLE, TN – Kenwood High School Drama Club “Knight’s Players” will present Antigone, the timeless story of love, honor and loyalty, on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 14 and 15 at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 16 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets at $5 on GoFan. Free for CMCSS students.
Antigone is a young woman who defies a king to bury her soldier brother. She sacrifices her earthly life, “walks alive toward death,” and says, “my nature sides with love.” As the daughter of Oedipus, Antigone begets an honorable burial for her brother, an honorable end to her own life, and honors her father Oedipus and family in doing so.
KHS Drama Club welcomes new actors to the stage this year. Shaylin Robinson plays Antigone and Jordan Hayes plays Haemon, son of Creon and fiance to Antigone. Veteran actors return in new roles: Avian Frizzell as King Creon, Gabriella Gill as Ismene, Antigone’s sister, and Kathryn Free as the soothsayer Tiresias. In this modern dress production, veteran actor William Rivera and newcomer Evalyn McMillan unite to form the chorus which narrates, questions, interacts, and observes. Julia Battreal stage manages the action onstage and backstage, assisted by Kiley Haynes.
Tickets are $5 on www.gofan.com, but are free to CMCSS students.
