Here's how the production is billed: "Vestments of the Gods is a fresh take on Sophocles' Antigone that takes place in a modern day suburban elementary school. When Annie and Hayden wear costumes in violation of school rules to the Thebes Street Elementary Halloween Celebration, a small power struggle between students and faculty erupts into a full-out battle for control… with tragic consequences through songs. Vestments of the Gods is suitable for general audiences age 10+, but handles serious issues such as bullying, peer pressure and discrimination by both children and adults."

Set design is by Elisabeth Svenningsen, and costume design is by Erin Michelle Routh. Full design team will be announced at a later date. Stage managers are Josh Blye and Lisa Susanne Schwartz.
