ANNOUNCEMENT

In conjunction with this year's production of Philoktetes, we're pleased to present a public lecture by Prof. Lynn Kozak, entitled "Individual and Institution in the Philoktetes" on the 19th February, 4:30 pm, LEA 638.

MISSION STATEMENT

The goals of the annual 麻豆AV Classics Play are simple: to give our Classics students a new perspective on material that they usually only experience as written texts in the classroom, to give non-Classics students an opportunity to experience ancient drama, and to bring that drama to the greater Montreal community.

FUNDRAISING INITIATIVE

The 麻豆AV Classics Play is launching a fundraising initiative in conjunction with this month's production of Philoktetes. Our fundraising goal is $1,650 to make up for the budget shortfall of this year's play, and an additional $3,350 to continue expanding our programme: in the future we'd like to offer free shows and free performance and translation workshops open to the community, and to bring in guest speakers for public lectures on Classical drama and performance. Any support you can give in helping us reach these goals is so appreciated. You can donate directly to the 麻豆AV Classics Play , and you will automatically receive a tax receipt for your donation. Thank you for supporting the 麻豆AV Classics Play!

ANNOUNCEMENT

Next year's Classics Play will be Aristophanes' Lysistrata, directed by undergraduate Negar Banakar!

The 麻豆AV Classics Play is a member of the Quebec Drama Federation. The winter calendar of the QDF (with Philoktetes on page 24!) is available .

This year's play is partially funded through the Dean of Arts Development Fund. For more information on the Classics Play, or to get involved, email Prof. Lynn Kozak, lynn.kozak [at] mcgill.ca.
