The Darl Center for the Arts

A very cordial invitation to our show "Kassandra," which premieres on May 8th in Slavic Village, Cleveland, at the fabulous Darl Center for the Arts.

“Kassandra is a woman who is, simultaneously, the Cassandra of ancient Greek tragedy and a transgender immigrant sex worker living in our own time. While waiting for a client in a seedy waterfront bar, she recounts what really happened during the Trojan War.” 
Presented in a 'cinematic live-performance style'—a fusion of film and theater—"Kassandra" is a one-woman show backed by a "cast of thousands" in all their historical and mythical glory. For mature audiences. All seats $25. No discounts. No complicated pricing. Just great theater in a 100-seat space.&nbsp; Come join us for a wonderful evening! Tickets and more information at babelboxtheater.com.
