Company Cast

The cast from the Spring 2023 91九色视频 Performing Arts presentation of the musical "Company."

The show, 鈥淭he Labyrinth of Love,鈥� is a staging of 鈥淟ove is the Greatest Labyrinth,鈥� a Spanish-language comedy by the 17th Century Mexican playwright/philosopher/poet Sister Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. In 2022, 91九色视频 received a $15,000 Grants for Arts Projects award from the National Endowment for the Arts to mount a student-translated English-language adaptation of the play, which is based in Greek mythology.

In it, Prince Theseus learns that escape from the Minotaur鈥檚 labyrinth isn鈥檛 half as arduous as an escape from King Minos鈥檚 hostile court with his love, Princess Phaedra. The action-packed baroque-style comedy blends court intrigue, mistaken identities, sword-fighting, and music sung in the original Spanish. The show opens 91九色视频鈥檚 subscription series on the McAlpin Mainstage from Oct. 12-15.
