Rehearsals will begin on August 18, and performances will be October 16-26.

Big Love is a modern adaptation of Aeschylus's The Suppliants, reimagined with a focus on themes of gender politics, love, and domestic violence. The story revolves around 50 brides who flee Greece to avoid forced marriages to their cousins, seeking refuge in an Italian villa.

No preparation is necessary for the auditions. Production crew to assist with scenery, costumes, props, lighting, and stage management is also needed. For more information, please e-mail lnearverbrugghe@mendocino.edu.
