Coffeyville Community College will host a theater workshop for area high school students on Wednesday.

Students will have the chance to watch a pre-show performance of the play Oedipus Rex and then take part in a question-and-answer session with the cast and crew. The workshop is designed to give students a behind-the-scenes look at set building, lighting, and play production. Then, the public is invited to attend a performance of the play Oedipus Rex in the Spencer Rounds Theater on the CCC Campus. Performances include Thursday and Friday nights at 7pm and Saturday afternoon at 2pm. Admission is free.

Oedipus Rex, written by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles, is a gripping tragedy that explores profound themes of fate, free will, and the consequences of unchecked pride.
