What it’s about. Antigone in Ferguson is a groundbreaking project, developed by Theater of War Productions, which fuses dramatic readings by acclaimed actors of Sophocles’ Antigone with live choral music performed by a diverse choir, including activists, youth, teachers, police officers, & concerned citizens from St. Louis, Missouri & New York City, culminating in powerful, healing discussions about race & social justice. Antigone in Ferguson was conceived in the wake of Michael Brown’s death in 2014.

A live choir conducted by Dr. Philip Woodmore will accompany the performance, & two of its soloists, De-Rance Blaylock & Duane Foster, have a special relationship to the subject: They were Michael Brown's teachers.
