The Ancient Greeks invented theatre, and The NOLA Project is paying tribute by going classical to close out Season 21. Audiences have been captivated by one woman’s quest for vengeance as far back as 431 BC. In this modern translation, Euripides’ themes continue to ring true – maybe now more than ever.
MEDEA will be presented at Greenway Station (436 N Norman C Francis Parkway). Seating (unless purchasing Premier) is bring-your-own general admission – tailgate/camping/Mardi Gras chairs are recommended for the outdoor, concrete venue. Please note this production contains some adult content.
MEDEA is presented in partnership with Lafitte Greenway Partnership and NORD.
