Eurydice is a poetic reimagining of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, which is told from her perspective. It begins as Eurydice dies on her wedding day and follows her journey in the Underworld, where she is reunited with her father but loses her memory. While there, she must choose between staying with her father in the Underworld or following her husband, Orpheus, back to the land of the living. The play explores themes of love, loss, memory, and grief through a surreal and beautiful lens, featuring magical realism and a unique perspective on the original story.

The shows are November 20 at 7PM, November 21 at 7PM, and November 22 at 1PM and 5PM and all shows are in the Wall Intermediate School Auditorium. Tickets can be purchased in advance using the button below.

Please be advised, WHS will not accept food deliveries from services such as DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, etc. for students in our school. While we understand the convenience these services provide, they create significant disruptions within our main office. More importantly, allowing outside food/lunch deliveries raises concerns about the safety and security of our students and staff.

Please note: Parents and guardians are still permitted to drop off lunch for students who may have forgotten their meals. However, we ask that you coordinate these drop-offs directly through our main office to ensure a smooth process.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we prioritize the well-being and security of our school community.

Mr. Davis
