'The Trojan Women'

The School of Theater will get spring quarter off to a fast start with the production of "The Trojan Women," which will mark the first time the school has split production over two quarters.

"This is atypical for us but exciting," said Wagner, who also serves as the assistant director of the School of Theater. "To split a production into two quarters means as soon as the student get back for spring quarter they will be rolling right into tech week."

Adapted by Ellen McLaughlin, Euripides' play follows the stories of the women of Troy after Greek armies conquered their city and is the third tragedy in a trilogy about the Trojan War.

With "What the Butler Saw" closing a little more than a week ago and production elements already in the final stages of completion for "The Trojan Women," the school and its students have had no time to rest.

"Normally after a production closes, we would have a little time to catch our breath, but the opposite is true in this case," Wagner said.

"The Trojan Women" will run April 8 through 11, and April 15 through 18 with performances at 8 p.m. at the Forum Theater in the RTV Building.
