700 Union Street, downtown Seattle (adjacent to the Washington State Convention & Trade Center).

Sep. 11-Oct. 5:  Eurydice

One minute you’re madly in love, as only a couple of kids can be. The next minute, you’re – well, dead. Cross the River of Forgetting on a one-way cruise to the Underworld in this fantastic and original retelling of a classic Greek myth. With its express elevator to Hades, a chorus of snarky talking stones, and the Lord of the Underworld holding court from the seat of his red tricycle, Eurydice is as achingly vivid as your best dreams – and just as surreal. From the author of The Clean House, a huge hit in our 2007 season.

Sep. 13-Oct. 4:  Project Orpheus

Seattle Dance Project returns to ACT with a world premiere modern dance narrative, Project Orpheus. Based on the Greek myth, Orpheus and Eurydice, Project Orpheus will explore the physicality of love, jealousy, compassion and grief. With local choreographers (Wade Madsen, Eva Stone and Olivier Wevers), dancers and designers collaborating, this is a world premiere that should not be missed.
