Anastasia
Nov. 8-10
Norshor Theatre
The 1997 animated film, about the alleged last surviving offspring of the last Russian czar, had little to do with either the 1956 Ingrid Bergman film or actual history – what can you expect, it has a talking bat. But it spawned a successful and slightly more realistic (minus the bat and the undead Rasputin) Broadway musical, here tailored for young actors and audiences.
Eurydice
Nov. 8-10
UMD Dudley Experimental Theatre
Sarah Ruhl’s play retells the Greek myth of Orpheus through the perspective of his late wife, Eurydice, following her into the underworld where she finds her father and has to fight to remember who she is and what she loves.
