Messenger #1 (Boulder)

Please note: by purchasing tickets at this link, you are purchasing tickets for our Boulder performances of this production.

The ancient and modern will meet in our regional premiere (and the second-ever production) of Messenger #1, a new ancient Greek tragedy written by award-winning playwright Mark Jackson.

Messenger #1 is a contemporary re-telling of the aftermath of the Trojan War, from the perspective of the three messengers who communicate the various power grabs among the warring members of the House of Atreus. Replete with song and dance numbers, swinging dizzingly between comedy and tragedy, Messenger #1 examines how "History is bought and paid for[and] not by the likes of you and I."

"Dark, damning, graceful, and funny as hell." Scott Moore, SF Weekly

Our opening night performance includes a reception with beer, wine, and Messenger inspired dishes by The Catamounts' Chef de Cuisine, Zachary Wilkinson!
