About the Play

In a time before Travelgate and Whitewater, and even Watergate… when humans knew that it was not they - but the gods - who ruled the earth…

Directed by Yvonne E. Pilarczyk

Yes, that Hillary. Playwright Wendy Weiner blends the life of protagonist Hillary Rodham with a heavy dose of laughter and Greek mythological madness!

As a girl in Illinois, Hillary (Amy Pelleg) worships at the altar of Athena (Erin Scerbak), the no-nonsense goddess of wisdom and war. Hil's devotion angers Aphrodite (Kacey Durbin), goddess of love and beauty, who curses her with Bill Clinton (Mark Moore), described by the play's Greek chorus (Mark DePompei and Catherine Remick) as "a man of mythical charm and appetites." Zeus and Ken Starr (Don Edelman) also make appearances.

Follow Hillary from high school to Wellesley, from Yale Law School to Arkansas, and from the White House (where a suspicious intern causes some conflict) to the Senate… Hillary: A Modern Greek Tragedy with a (somewhat) Happy Ending is a "hillary-ous" comedy that will take you to Hell and back!
