Columbia University School of the Arts presents the 2nd year Acting cohort in Madeleine George's Hurricane Diane, directed by Danielle Skraastad.
This comedic sequel to The Bacchae gives the audience a much-needed reminder of what is to come if they don't prioritize their home: Mother Earth. Diane appears and awakens a deep desire within these four ladies: Beth, Renee, Pam, and Carol—a desire for change, worship, release, and rebellion. Hurricane Diane makes us question: what have we done, and what can we do? How long is too long until our time on earth is through?
