Nebraska Repertory Theatre opens its 2025–2026 season with Eurydice, Sarah Ruhl’s poetic reimagining of the Orpheus myth. Directed by Associate Professor of Theatre David Long, the 90‑minute production plays in the Studio Theatre on the first floor of the Temple Building at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. The staging emphasizes collaboration in the room, with Long inviting the cast to shape movement and moments as rehearsals evolve. The play explores love, connection, and memory through Eurydice’s relationships with Orpheus and her father, and her effort to reclaim what the underworld makes her forget. Ruhl’s language is strange and beautiful—rich in metaphors that invite precise, deeply intentioned acting choices. The cast highlights the challenge and playfulness of embodying the Stones, nonhuman figures who enforce the rules below. Rather than a cynical retelling, this production leans toward hope, centering Eurydice’s voice and the tenderness of a daughter and a father.
