Cassandra is an original chamber musical with a story by stage veteran Kelly McMahon, a book by Anthea Carns, and featuring the songs of punk icon Patti Smith. After centuries of having men write about herand put words in her mouthCassandra, the legendary Trojan priestess who was cursed to utter prophetic truths to deaf ears, is given the opportunity to tell her own story. Invited by The Three Fates, she relives and reflects upon her life, her prophecies and the relationships she has with the three important women in her life: her mother (Hecuba), her avenger (Athena) and her murderer (Clytemnestra). Most powerfully, she considers a question all can find resonant: if you know your actions cant or wont change things, why do you bother?DATES AND TIMES:Thursday, June 2 7 p.m. (Preview)Monday, June 13 7 p.m.Saturday, June 18 - 8:30 p.m.Sunday, June 19 - 1 p.m.Saturday, June 25 2 p.m.*All shows will also be streamed.

It was grad school when accomplished stage director Kelly McMahon first really started exploring Cassandra, the legendary priestess of Greek mythology who was cursed to utter prophetic truths to deaf ears. McMahon delved deep into her backstory and the famous tales told about her and realized she had something unique to present in Cassandra's history, which was often shaped by men.
