The Columbia College Chicago School of Theatre and Dance‘s 2025-26 Mainstage Season kicks off with Iphigenia and Other Daughters, running October 22 through November 1 in Studio 404 of the Getz Theatre Center of Columbia College, located at 72 E. 11th St. in Chicago’s South Loop.

Adapted by Ellen McLaughlin from the Greek tragedies Iphigenia in Aulis, Iphigenia in Tauris, and Electra, this three-play cycle is a modern retelling of the mythic fall of the House of Atreus. It follows the children of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, siblings who are both players in the family tragedy and victims of it.
