Have you wondered who was telling the truth? Have you ever rushed to judgment or frozen in the face of fear? 

Director Marcela Lorca and an all-star cast probe these questions in the beautiful and often humorous HELEN, Lorca’s final show with TTT.  The virtuous Helen waits in Egypt for her husband to return from the Trojan War. Meanwhile, her phantom double has appeared in Troy, promoting a false narrative that Helen’s infidelity caused the war. As a perilous situation unfolds, illusion and reality can seem interchangeable. Who is really in control of the truth? 

Runtime of 90 minutes with no intermission.
