This December, Main Street Players at 6766 Main Street will present their first Spanish language play, “La Pasión según Antígona Pérez” by Luís Rafael Sánchez. The talented cast of ten is currently in rehearsal and is excited to bring this production to life.
Held captive in the palace of Generalísimo Creón Molina, Antigona Pérez is a political prisoner awaiting execution. She stole and buried the irons of two friends who attempted to assassinate Creón, and consents to her sentence by refusing to disclose their location. During her stay in the dungeon, visitors come to test her values, and she’s strongly criticized by the press in charge of misrepresenting the truth.
The production brings this classic story of civil disobedience to modern day. Through this story, values are corrupted, fear controls decisions, and it takes courage to remain loyal to our beliefs.
The show is directed by Isaac Polanco, and will be stage managed by Daniel Nieves. The cast includes Antígona by Anne Garcia, Aurora by Adela Romero, Creón Molína by Alejandro Milían, Pilar by Salomé Muriel, Monsenor Escudero by Amarú Pereyra, Irene, Journalist 5 by Carmen Albernas, Journalist 1 by Camila Rodriguez, Journalist 2 by Rosalyn Tavarez, Journalist 3 by Henri Sosa, and Journalist 4 by Leopoldo Anzola.
Performance dates are December 9-11, and December 16-18. Fridays and Saturdays are at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. General admission tickets are $20, and may either be purchased at the door 30 minutes prior to showtime, or online at
