Antigone Cast

Anna is a Senior at Whitworth and is majoring in Theatre and minoring in both Dance and Mathematics. She loves how many opportunities Whitworth provides to get involved with theatre and develop her personal artistry. Her favorite theatre experiences at Whitworth include “Almost Maine”, “Argonautika”, “The Spitfire Grill”, and “5 Degrees of Separation”. She thanks Naphtali for being a creative and compassionate director, the cast for their beautiful performances, and everyone involved for being a wonderful community in times when it's hard to feel connected to other people. She is happy you are here and hopes you feel invited into the world of the play and inspired by the questions it's asking

Rachel is a third-year English Lit & Theatre double major. You may recognize her from “La Algajira”, or “Hindsigh”t. She is radical and loud, and is passionate about fighting for justice.
