Join us in welcoming Charles Biddle to the Atlas Board of Directors!

Charles (Charley) Biddle is honored to join the Board of The Atlas Performing Arts Center, a cornerstone of his neighborhood on Washington, DC’s historic H Street NE. He believes deeply in theatre as the study of the human condition, and his own experience in the arts has been enormously enlightening in cultivating empathy and cross-cultural understanding. The Atlas lifts rising artists, nurtures local arts education, and brings world-class performance to the neighborhood. He’s humbled to help carry that mission forward.

Songs of the Goat returns to the Atlas with "Eurydice" by Sarah Ruhl
September 2-13

In Ruhl’s imaginative retelling of the classic myth, the story is finally told through the eyes of its heroine. Dying unexpectedly on her wedding day, Eurydice descends into an Underworld more theatrical playground than hellscape. Stripped of her memories and language, and policed by a Chorus of Stones, she reunites with her deceased Father, who tenderly helps her reconstruct her past. But when her husband, Orpheus, plays music beautiful enough to open the gates of hell to rescue her, Eurydice faces a devastating choice: follow the man she married back to a world she doesn’t quite understand, or remain in the safe, familiar embrace of her father in the land of the dead.
