Black Hills Theater Presents: Antigone
2025-11-14 19:00 - 21:00, 2025-11-15 19:00 - 21:00 | BHCT- Black Hills Community Theatre, 601 Columbus Street, Rapid City, SD, 57701, United States
The brave Antigone dares death to bury her brother’s corpse against the decree of the King, her uncle Creon.
In spite of her love for Creon’s son and the promise of a golden future, Antigone chooses to stand up to oppression and give her brother his rightful burial no matter the cost.
First performed in German occupied France, this adaptation of the Greek tale utilizes modern language and humor to bring the classic tale to life.
“What a person can do, a person should do.” BHCT and the Performing Arts Center of Rapid City are happy to host a food drive for Feeding South Dakota at all performances of Antigone.
Bring in a non-perishable food item (high demand items include peanut butter, canned chicken or tuna, and canned fruit) and get a coupon for $2 off concessions.
Be a part of what makes the BHCT community great!

West River Comedy Club - Jackie Kashian
2025-11-14 19:00 - 2025-11-15 21:00 | West River Comedy Club, 632 1/2 St. Joseph St., Rapid City, South Dakota, 57701
Comedy fans, get ready—West River Comedy Club is bringing in the incomparable Jackie Kashian. You’ve seen her on Conan, The Late Late Show with James Corden, HBO, Netflix, and most recently in her delightfully absurd tiny special Looking Back—filmed entirely in reverse from a Mazda 6. Jackie’s sharp wit and warm, dork-friendly humor have earned her five acclaimed specials, including Stay-Kashian, named one of Decider’s top 10 stand-up specials of the year.
She’s not just a comic’s comic—she’s also the voice behind two iconic podcasts: The Dork Forest (where she dives into people’s weirdest obsessions) and The Jackie and Laurie Show (her comedy-industry tell-all with Laurie Kilmartin). With a knack for finding laughs in everything from pop culture rabbit holes to family life—including her new brand of “positive mother-in-law” material—Jackie Kashian is the kind of comic who makes audiences feel both smart and seen.
Don’t miss this night of sharp storytelling, unapologetic dorkery, and punchlines that land harder than a cat on a countertop.
