COMING SOON

To close Harvest Season 2025, Resurgens returns this November with one of the most enduring comedies of the seventeenth century, Ben Jonson’s Volpone. Delight with us in the duplicitous schemes of a master con artist and his cunning parasite (Volpone, the Fox and Mosca, the Fly), as they expose and exploit the ravenous cravings of a corrupt society. Directed by Dr. Brent Griffin, this “original practices” production focuses sharply on Jonson’s biting satire and multifaceted irony, underscoring Samuel Pepys’ oft-repeated sentiment—it’s “a most excellent play; the best I think I ever saw.”

All performances will be at our new venue, the historic Pythagoras Masonic Temple (108 E. Ponce de Leon Ave.) in Decatur.

Tickets are only $20, and are available online below

or at the Box Office prior to the show.
