Eurydice Hits the Road!

No, it's not another journey to the underworld; Eurydice is heading to the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, Region 8 at Weber State University! And the Dear Eurydice Project is going too!

If you could write one last letter to someone you’ve lost,
what would you say?

In February, UVU Theatre Department will be remounting Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl at the Kennedy Center Region 8 Theatre Festival. The play portrays the ancient Greek story of Orpheus’ famous trek into the Underworld to bring Eurydice back from the dead. Letters passed between the world of the living and the dead play a prominent role in the story.

Call for Letters

As part of the production, an art instillation in the lobby will be re-created from letters written to lost loves and we want a letter from you!

Letters to… anyone or anything you’ve loved and lost.

Letters from… you, of course. Anonymity is encouraged and please include where you’re from.

Letters on… stationary, postcards, emails, scraps of paper… anything up to one page in length.

Letters containing… words, poems, photos, doodles… anything that expresses your feelings.

Letters delivered to… Dear Eurydice Department of Theatrical Arts, UVU MS 234, 800 W. University Parkway, Orem, UT 84058-5999, deareurydice@gmail.com.
