Monroe County Civic Theater’s spring show this year will be Euripide’s classic tragedy The Trojan Women as adapted by Jean Paul Sartre.
This production is proving to be very challenging and innovative. We are incorporating dance and live music with 8 original songs based on the text and the music of the Ancient World. And, as the title hints, our cast of 22 features 18 women of all ages, sizes, shapes and levels of experience. We are very excited to open our season with such an unusual, ambitious show.
The themes it explores around war and the costs of war, especially to women and children, seem to us to be very timely and spotlighting them felt like the right thing to do.
