The Gospel at Colonus

Closing: July 26, 2025

The Gospel at Colonus - 2025 Off-Broadway History , Info & More

The epic myth of Oedipus is reborn as a Pentecostal ritual that remakes prophecy as testimony and brokenness as transcendence.

A man condemned from birth searches for grace. A choir lifts him up. The congregation – the audience – bears witness to his tale. But here, tragedy is not an ending – it’s the road to deliverance.

Director, and Pulitzer Prize-finalist, Shayok Misha Chowdhury gathers a powerhouse ensemble to bring this legendary work to life and build a space for us to gather, rejoice, and transform.
