Dido of Idaho by Abby Rosebrock

When a love affair goes brutally awry, a hard-drinking musicologist seeks asylum with her estranged evangelical mother. Dido of Idaho is a modern, dark comedy that loosely re-imagines the ancient myth of Dido and Aeneas. This play is a funny, surprising, and often unsettling exploration of love, despair, and the difficult path toward self-acceptance.

Winner of the 2025 LA Drama Critics Circle Awards for Best Original Writing, Best Direction, and Best Featured Performance.

“Vibrant, outré humor. Unwinds not at all as you might expect. Beth Henley infused with a few drops of Martin McDonagh’s deranged fierceness. Rosebrock has spun a comedy that freely intermingles laughter, frustration, tears and shock.” —Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times

Performances of Dido of Idaho are April 17 – May 10, 2026Fri. & Sat. at 8:00, Sun. at 3:00
