It’s 405 BC, and the city of Athens is defeated, divided, and searching for a way forward. To save art itself, the god Dionysus journeys into the underworld to bring the great playwright Euripides back from the dead. Juilliard Drama presents The Frogs, Aristophanes’ uproarious and incisive comedy, in a new adaptation directed by faculty member and head of physical acting Orlando Pabotoy. A wild descent into Hades—complete with singing amphibians and biting humor—this ancient comedy asks a timeless question: What is the role of art in a turbulent world? Equal parts irreverent and profound, The Frogs reminds us that theater has always been a space for reckoning, renewal, and riotous laughter. Join us.
