Written and directed by
Holly L. Derr, this provocative re-imagining of the Medea myth plays out deep
in the heart of Texas. When a media circus descends on the rural cow town of
Corinth, Texas, to cover a gruesome filicide, a community must confront its own
expectations about motherhood, identity, and gender roles in a post-modern
world. American Medea is an unflinching collage of story and culture, a
new American myth based on our own contemporary Medeas. (Due to adult themes,
this production may not be suitable for younger audiences.)
