An award-winning play by local playwright Lillian Oh-Furlong, More Lasting Than Bronze is a sapphic retelling of the myth of Artemis and Orion. Inspired by the playwright’s love of mythology and storytelling, it explores love, sacrifice, and what it means to be human. It was first showcased at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival One-Act Play competition in 2023, where it was selected as a semi-finalist and was awarded the Regional Paula Vogel Award. More Lasting Than Bronze was also selected as part of WWU’s student-led new works series during their 2022-2023 season.

This is a workshop reading of the play, so following the show there will be an audience talk-back with the playwright and cast. Come ready to share your opinions and support local artists.
