Eurydice
If you’re looking for a truly enchanting theatrical experience this week, look no further than Eurydice, running from March 7 to 23 on Bainbridge Island. This mesmerizing production brings to life Sarah Ruhl’s reimagining of the classic Greek myth, offering a fresh and deeply moving perspective on love, loss, and memory.
At the heart of Eurydice is a young woman caught between two worlds. After a tragic accident on her wedding day, she finds herself in the Underworld, where she is reunited with her deceased father. But while their connection is rekindled in this strange and poetic afterlife, Eurydice struggles to remember her past and the love she left behind—her devoted husband, Orpheus. As she navigates the surreal and often bewildering landscape of the Underworld, she must make difficult choices that will shape her fate forever.
Ruhl’s Eurydice is a breathtaking departure from the traditional telling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. Instead of focusing solely on Orpheus’s desperate attempt to rescue his wife from the Underworld, this version centers Eurydice’s voice and experience. The play weaves together stunning visual storytelling, dreamlike elements, and poetic dialogue to create an unforgettable journey through love and remembrance. Audiences can expect to be moved not only by the emotional depth of the story but also by the powerful themes of family, memory, and the connections that transcend time and space.
Whether you’re a lover of mythology, an avid theatergoer, or simply looking for a meaningful night out, Eurydice promises to be a show that lingers in your heart long after the final curtain. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness this extraordinary production—reserve your tickets now and prepare to be transported into one of mythology’s most hauntingly beautiful stories.

Bainbridge Island Youth Orchestra 2025 Winter Concert

With a thoughtfully curated program featuring Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C, Mozart’s Symphony No. 35, and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, this concert promises an afternoon of rich, evocative music.
Live orchestral music is a unique experience—every note, every movement of the ensemble comes together to create something powerful and dynamic. As the BIYO musicians perform, they’re not just playing their own parts; they’re listening, responding, and growing together as an ensemble. This collaborative energy is what makes their performances so special, and this concert is a wonderful opportunity to witness their dedication and artistry firsthand.
One of the highlights of the program, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, is a vivid musical journey through a series of paintings, brought to life through bold orchestration and dramatic storytelling. Meanwhile, Mozart’s Symphony No. 35, also known as the “Haffner” Symphony, delivers elegance and excitement, while Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C showcases the lyrical beauty and virtuosity of the cello.
