Butler’s Theatre Department to Perform “Antigone”

Butler Community College’s Theatre Department is ending the 2017-2018 school year with a performance of “Antigone,” a reinterpretation of an ancient Greek tragedy by Jean Anouilh and translated by Jeremy Sams. Jean Anouilh’s Antigone tells the story of the struggle between Antigone, daughter of Oedipus, and Creon, her uncle and now King of Thebes. This adaption features Antigone, the play’s tragic heroine, who defies her uncle and demands justice for her brother.

Butler’s production of “Antigone” is directed by Samuel Sparks, Director of Fine Arts. Bernie Wonsettler, Associate Professor of Theatre, is the technical director and lighting designer.

The play features Allison Pieschl of Wichita as Antigone, Seth Knowles of El Dorado as Creon and Caden Middlebrooks of Maize as the Prologue.
