Experience a staged reading on the classic Greek play as interpreted by African-American poet Countée Cullen (1903-1946).

Originally written and staged in 431 BCE, "Medea" is the tale of a woman scorned and the horrifying revenge she executes upon the publicly heroic lover who abandoned her. There will be a question-and-answer session after the performance with the director and cast.

Admission is free. Presented by Demaskus Theater, a collective of service-oriented artists and administrators seeking to make known the messages of the marginalized through quality theatrical productions and presentations. For more information, call (412) 608-9767.
