The University of Texas Classics Department will host a staged reading of scenes from Ancient Greek texts at the Avaya Auditorium, ACE 2.302, 7 p.m., on Thursday, November 10, 2011. Professors Thomas Palaima and Peter Meineck (Artistic Director of Aquila Theatre Company in NYC) will host the talk-back after the staged-reading. Ancient Greeks - Modern Lives receives funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The event will feature professional actors and will last approximately ninety minutes and will include an introduction, performed readings, a post-show discussion and a town hall style meeting, including audience comments. The New York Times describes Aquila as “a classically trained, modernly hip troupe.”
