EURYDICE
Oct 4 all-day
USC Upstate - Performing Arts Center

EURYDICE

Thu Oct 2nd 7:30pm – Sun 5th 3:00pm (EDT)
USC Upstate – Performing Arts Center,170 Gramling Drive, Spartanburg, SC 29303, USA  

Upstate Theatre proudly presents EURYDICE

October 2-4, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. | October 5, 2025 at 3:00 p.m.

Performances will be held in the Studio Theatre of the Performing Arts Center

In Eurydice, Sarah Ruhl reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld, where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love. With contemporary characters, ingenious plot twists, and breathtaking visual effects, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story.

General Admission: $10
Faculty, Staff & Students: $5

GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!
Oct 4 all-day
The Warehouse Theatre

A pair of adorably inept playwrights perform a backer’s audition for their new, hilariously ill-advised production. It’s a big splashy musical about printing press inventor Johan Gutenberg, with a lot of trucker hats.

WHY SEE THIS SHOW: 

Absurdly funny, inherently theatrical, this is a tour de force for two musical theater performers. We have two incredible performers doing what they were meant to do: sing about the invention of the printing press in a musical written by the Tony-nominated guys behind BEETLEJUICE.

But it’s not really about Gutenberg, it’s really about our two performers, their love for their craft and their platonic love for each other. The joy in watching this show is how people with the best talent but questionable intentions can create something absurd, weird, moving, and hilarious, all without guile. It’s a sweet show with a sweet message, but also has madcap comedy throughout. There are multiple group dance numbers. Despite there being only two people in the cast.

This is a unicorn, in that it is a musical for people who don’t like musicals and also a musical for people who love musicals!

WHO SHOULD SEE THIS SHOW?  If you enjoy HEDWIG, THE THANKSGIVING PLAY, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, or BEETLEJUICE…this show will be a great time!
