Held in the spirit of the week-long theatrical festival founded by the ancient Greeks after a plague, DIONYSIA celebrates the resilience, the creativity, and the community in our lives. Come, be immersed and entertained by a homecoming like no other. No seated dinner, no traditional formalities; only good performances, good food + drink, and good company for a good cause.
