SUMMARY:Theatre Company presents 'Eurydice'
DESCRIPTION:Detroit Mercy Theatre Company (DMTC) will open its 56th season 
 with Sarah Ruhl’s imaginative play\, Eurydice\, in the Black Box Theatre
  on UDM’s McNichols Campus.\n\nSeven performances will run in back-to-ba
 ck weekends\, Friday through Sunday\, Nov 6-8\, and Thursday through Sunda
 y\, Nov. 12-15.\n\nThe production marks a special moment for both Detroit 
 Mercy Theatre Company and University of Detroit Mercy\, as the University 
 celebrates its 150th anniversary. Eurydicewill serve as the featured event
  for November in UDM’s yearlong celebration\, inviting audiences to expe
 rience a contemporary reimagining of the classic myth of Orpheus and Euryd
 ice as told by Eurydice.\n\nAfter her untimely death\, Eurydice journeys i
 nto the Underworld\, where she encounters her father amidst a mysterious l
 andscape. When Orpheus arrives to bring her back to the world of the livin
 g\, Eurydice must make a profound choice between the pull of her former li
 fe and the possibility of remaining with her father.\n\n“Eurydice is a b
 eautiful play about memory\,” said Sarah Hawkins Rusk\, managing directo
 r of Detroit Mercy Theatre Company. “It feels particularly meaningful to
  begin our season with a story that invites us to look backward while also
  considering what we carry with us into the future as the University marks
  this important milestone in its history.”\n\nNoted Detroit theatre dire
 ctor Kennikki Jones-Jones and alumni guest performer Peter Prouty ’00 jo

 re Company feels like coming home\, but I’m coming home older\, wiser an
 d more confident\, humbly excited to share what I’ve learned\,” said P
 routy\, who has gone on to have a successful professional career in the th
 eatre. “UDM is where my soul began its journey in earnest. Hopefully I c
 an impart some of my experiences to the students.”\n\nThe production als
 o continues DMTC’s commitment to presenting high-quality theatre in its 
 new home. The Detroit Mercy Black Box Theatre\, located in the Lower Level
  of the Student Union\, provides Detroit Mercy Theatre Company with a dedi
 cated performance and teaching space on the McNichols Campus and creates n
