SF State Rep is a student operated theatre company, where every role that is crucial to putting on a successful production is staffed by students. The members of SF State Rep have been revving their engines and have risen to meet the obstacle of nationwide budget cuts in the arts.

As Antigone struggles to fulfill her moral duty, she must also confront the authority, Creon, King of Thebes, who seeks to punish anyone who disobeys him; and who stands as a formidable obstacle between her and her beliefs. She fights to confer burial rights for her brother - who Creon deems a traitor - she is confronted with the painful choice of obeying the laws of the state, or honoring the moral laws of the gods. To Antigone, she is righteous in her acts against Creon. To Creon, she represents its ruination.
