The Maenads is a fast-paced, comedic thriller about five men who climb a mountain to cosplay as maenads — female followers of Dionysus — and free themselves from the prison of modern masculinity. But even a playful invocation of the God of Chaos has its consequences as the men soon find themselves stranded without food, water, or cell signals, drunk and tripping balls in an increasingly hostile environment.
Desperate to survive but equally desperate not to leave the mountain unchanged, the men are forced to confront the lies and fears that drove them to this performance of ecstatic femininity in the first place.
The performance schedule for The Maenads is as follows: Thursdays-Saturdays at 7pm; Sundays at 3pm. Exceptions: there will be no performances on Sunday September 21 and Thursday October 2. Additional performances will be held on Monday October 6 at 7pm and Wednesday October 8 at 7pm. An asterisk denotes the actor is a member of Actors’ Equity Association.
