This year marks the 25th anniversary of PushPush, an Atlanta arts and theater mainstay. PushPush has kicked off a new chapter of expansion and artists’ support with the grand opening of their new space in College Park, as well as a new production of the classical Greek tragedy “Antigone,” creatively adapted for modern audiences.

“Antigone ’23,” as it’s called, is on stage at PushPush Arts’ new theater annex in College Park through Feb. 25. To talk about the play and the future of PushPush, “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes was joined via Zoom by “Antigone” co-directors Tim Habeger and Shelby Hofer, as well as PushPush marketing and development manager Kaleigh Malloy.
