EMMY: Or, The

|
Housing nine characters across three acts in the mythological eternal now in an average place, "EMMY: Or, The Nemesis of Narcissists" features the goddess of revenge Nemesis in disguise as a new-order nymph named Emmy, Zeus fornicating with a different nymph named Evie, Hera enlisting the help of two human siblings to catch her cheating husband, and Narcissus reimagined as a popstar named Rick Luck, with Tiresias the seer as the local radio DJ spinning throughout. All but the most powerful gods get what’s coming to them. Caught in the crosshairs of the action is Echo, a good-natured nymph who wants to do right by her best friend, Evie. But when she starts lying to Hera to protect her friend, she becomes compromised. All the while, neither Evie nor Echo heed Emmy/Nemesis’ warnings that interacting with beings far greater in power than themselves can only bring about their destruction.

SISYPHUS' STONE is about the choices we make, the hope we have, and who - or what - we’re willing to live for.TEAM

Sisyphus is determined to get to the top. He’s changed up his training and has a new approach. He is certain that, this time, he is going to complete his Sisyphean task. But what of the companion in his task, the rock named Stone he rolls up the hill? How does Stone feel about being a participant, where did Stone come from, and why was this stone, of all stones, selected? As Sisyphus rolls, spins, pivots and pushes Stone, Stone tells us the love story he witnessed before he was pulled into Tartarus, the instantaneous connection between two women at different stages of their lives, both frozen by their circumstances until they meet each other. The women are Evie and Merope. Evie believes she is cursed and Merope is, well, Sisyphus’ wife. Their choice in each other seems promising, until details about their lives, more intertwined than they knew, emerge that threaten their budding relationship. Will Sisyphus and Stone complete their task and will Evie and Merope’s relationship survive the revelations - or are they all fated to fail?
