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.)

Tickets:  $12 general, $8 students and senior citizens. Contact the theater box office at 518-580-5439 or box-office@skidmore.edu for information, reservations
