Directed by CC Miller, the production will explore a reimagining of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth through multiple perspectives. The staging will incorporate music and movement as part of its storytelling approach.

The play follows three travelers who encounter a prophetess at Delphi, each offering a different version of the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. The narrative centers on themes of memory, loss, and interpretation.
The cast will include Amanda Vitiello as Pythia, James Mercer II as Orpheus, Bobby August Jr as Aristaeus, Jessica Bettencourt as Eurydice, and Teo Lin-Bianco, Tatianna Steiner, and Ella Wright as the dance chorus trio.
The creative team includes violinist Aurie Stetzel, costume designer Amanda Hayami, choreographer Iu-Hui Chua, composer David Coulter, lighting designer Riley Richardson, props designer Hanbyul Joo, set designer CC Miller, assistant director Hana Hiratai, and co-stage managers Elio Amador and Chloë Parmelee.
