Elektra
November 13-30, 2025
Madison Street Theater
1010 Madison St., Oak Park, IL 60302
Sophocles' Elektra is a play about the deep human drive for vengeance, and the corrosive effect violence has on the community and the family. This rarely-produced version of the play speaks powerfully of a world unable to free itself from cycles of retribution and revenge.
Elektra features Associate Artists Elizabeth Hope Nahulak as Elektra, Avery-Slade Fountain as Elektra's brother, Orestes. This amazing play also features Molly Surowitz, Olivia Rog, Mike Rogalski, Robert Tobin, CC Meade and Jennifer M. Hawk.
Elektra will be performed November 13-30, 2025 at Madison Street Theater, 1010 Madison Street, Oak Park, IL 60302.
