The Burials, a Project Sparx Production

The Burials is a modern tale of civic responsibility, the epidemic of gun violence in America's schools, and the power of young people to effect change.

Sophie is everything an upstanding young millennial should be: engaged, devoted to her family, and a likely valedictorian.

Inspired by Antigone,
