Didn't your mother warn you but to speak to strange goblins on the path at Bard on the Beach?!? Next thing you know, you're in the Chorus on stage at @bardonthebeach.bsky.social ! Goblin: Oedipus is funny and tragic in equal measure. It does not begin with a public orgy, despite tradition.

The goblins gave us a simple mask, two poems, and a series of responses to their cues. And then they k!!!ed us all on stage!

“it is a path, at least, that leads upwards.” Happy Opening to the Goblins who have descended upon the Douglas Campbell Theatre for the Season! We can’t wait to hear laughs resounding through Sen̓áḵw over the next few months.

“It is you who calls me forward” Congratulations to the Company of Antigone on their Opening Night! This stunning adaptation is a gorgeous and devastating and we can’t wait for people to be moved by it all Season long.
