In Eurydice, Sarah Ruhl reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love. “Rhapsodically beautiful. A weird and wonderful new play – an inexpressibly moving theatrical fable about love, loss and the pleasures and pains of memory.” —The New York Times
Event Tickets: $50.00
Must be 21 years of age or older to attend Gala Reception

A Reader's Theater Presentation Sponsored by: San Joaquin Delta College Cultural Awareness Program and the SJDC Student Nurses.
It’s 1975 and fifteen year-old ELYSE MARKS is forced by her over-bearing mother to be fit for a diaphragm.
No birth control, no boyfriend. DR. SHELDON and NURSE CAROL become her go-to confidants over the next 40-plus years, and to some extent, she becomes theirs as well. If those STIRRUPS could talk, what stories they could tell!

Catharsis Productions brings a profound passion to starting important conversations about sexual assault, harassment, racial discrimination and violence.
