The Ismene Project
Welcome to the home of The Ismene Project, a world-wide theatrical endeavor to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer support organizations. These organizations provide therapy, transportation, financial assistance and many other services to those suffering from breast cancer, as well as offering support groups and systems for the patients and their families. By attending the play in any one of the cities listed, the audience members will be making contributions that benefit this cause.
Ismene is a play written by Jeremy Menekseoglu, soon to be featured in eight cities around the world. Based on a new chapter in the stories of lesser-known heroines in Greek Theater and Mythology, Ismene is the tale of a young woman who is sent away to a School for Arktoi (unruly children) in the wake of great tragedy. Fate comes knocking in the form of a deadly Chorus, and Ismene is trapped inside the school with four other fierce women. Will they fight their fate or give in to their tragedies once and for all?

Support the Cause!
Please help support those brave patients and their families in their fight against Breast Cancer. This charitable cause is in dire need of your donations. Help contribute to Breast Cancer Support Organizations and also simultaneously support your local theater community! If you can't make the show nearest you (or even if you can), you can still donate for the cause. Any and all donations can be made via PayPal to the.ismene.project@gmail.com. Please specify which city is receiving your donation so that the money can be correctly distributed to the appropriate charity. We hope for donations of $20, but anything is helpful - so please contribute!
