Po-Hi Wildcat Theatre Company Performing Antigone

The Po-Hi Wildcat Theatre Company will be performing Antigone on October 23, 24 at 7:00 p.m. and on October 25 at 2:00 p.m. Due to Covid restrictions, the performances will be held outside in the courtyard of City Central. The Po-Hi Wildcat Theatre Company is under the direction of Ami Hensley and assistant director for this production Ella Stephens.

Director Ami Hensley explains, “This is our second outdoor performance, and we are especially grateful to the Ponca City Development Authority for their continued support of our fledgling theatre program in inviting us to use the courtyard.”

Antigone is a Greek Tragedy written by Sophocles in the 5th century B.C.E.  It is the tragic story in the cursed family of Oedipus. Antigone is his daughter who must take a stand against a harsh, and contradictory law declared by the King of Thebes, Creon. She does what she believes is right, breaking the law, knowing the price she will have to pay for doing so.
