Join actors from Aquila Theatre as they perform a staged reading of scenes from Greek Drama – tonight at 7pm at the Park Central Branch Library, 128 Park Central Square. This program is FREE and open to the public, and features scenes selected from Homer’s Odyssey, Aeschylus’ Agamemnon, Sophocles’ Ajax and Euripides’ Herakles, followed by a town hall style discussion with Dr. Edwin Carawan, Missouri State University professor of Modern and Classical Languages. Ancient Greeks/Modern Lives is a major national initiative aimed at inspiring people to come together to read, see and think about classical literature and how it continues to influence and invigorate American cultural life.

Aquila Theatre is appearing in Springfield as a part of THE SEASON 2011-2012 at Juanita K. Hammons Hall, where they will present The Importance of Being Earnest on Tuesday, October 25th at 7:30 pm.
