Wilmington, NC (March 19, 2026) – Cape Fear Community College’s Commercial, Fine, and Performing Arts Department is excited to announce its upcoming production of Bacchae by Euripides.

The play follows the Greek God Dionysus in a 2,400-year-old Greek tragedy about power, control, and what happens when people try to suppress human desire. Dionysus, son of Zeus, returns to his birthplace, but the newly crowned ruler aims to stand in the way of Dionysus’ attempt to reclaim his high birthright.

CFCC students and faculty will direct, design, and execute the performances. The production will run from April 16-18 and April 23-25, with shows at 7:00 p.m. each night. The venue is the Studio Theatre, located at the rear of the Wilson Center on Hanover Street.
