THE FINAL PERFORMANCE OF THE CUCK HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO A CASE OF COVID IN THE CAST. OUR APOLOGIES FOR THE LATE NOTICE.
The Cuck is Sophocles’s Electra, but about partying, class, and privilege. In this modern retelling, Electra and her brother Orestes, deprived of their royal birthright, plot deadly revenge against their mother and stepfather to reclaim what’s rightfully theirs while the Argos Music Festival is underway. This outdoor production is the premiere of the newest play by Sam Mayer, who wrote Chet’s Summer Vacation.

INCLEMENT WEATHER: If a performance is canceled due to inclement weather, your ticket is eligible for use at any other performance, including the Rain Date Performance on 6/27.
TICKET PRICES: For the past eight years, Intramural Theater has carried an original compensation model – after paying the venue their share, all remaining ticket revenue is split evenly amongst collaborators, from designers to performers. We introduced tiered pricing in 2021 in the hopes of paying our collaborators more for their work, while keeping tickets accessible for everyone, regardless of financial means. We suggest a minimum donation of $20, but if you can afford to, please consider paying $30, $40, or $100 in order to support Intramural Theater, the artists who comprise it, and the community we serve. Your ticket will be no different from any other, but every dollar you spend on it goes directly to the artists who make the show possible while helping us keep admission affordable for anyone who wants to see live, original theatre.
