THE TROJAN WOMAN AND LYSISTRATA STILL TO COME >>>

Evergreen is going Greek.

Surely you weren't gullible enough to think even for a moment that The Evergreen State College, of all colleges, could have gone Greek in the conventional Animal House sense. And as for what else you might have been thinking, I'll leave you to it.

What is happening at Evergreen beginning Thursday, May 5, is the Greek Theatre Festival. The college will present Eurydice (previewed by the Volcano's Christian Carvajal here), a modern adaptation of the classic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice, at 8 p.m. Thursday, May 5 through Saturday, May 7 in the recital hall at the college. Camp Wisdom will play beginning at 7:30 p.m. each night. And it's free.

The festival continues Thursday, June 2 through Sunday, June 5 with productions of The Trojan Woman and Lysistrata in the college's Experimental Theater.
