RARE

Sod House Theater has teamed up with The University of Minnesota’s Center for Orphan Drug Research to develop a new production focused on bringing attention to those diagnosed with a rare disease. The collaboration will adapt the Greek tragedy, Philoctetes, to help a Upper Midwest audience gain greater awareness and deeper understanding of the medical, economic, psychological, and social challenges facing people with rare diseases.  Kevin Kling, best known for his popular commentaries on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered, has adapted the Greek story to a modern play about rare disease.
