This summer, Magister Cavedo and I will be co-directing the Latin Academy play, which is Miles Gloriosus (The Braggart Soldier) by Plautus. This play features a solider who is completely full of himself and who gets what’s coming to him at the hands of his clever slave, his old man neighbor, and a couple of prostitutes. It will be amazing and fantastic! The play is a huge part of Latin Academy, and I encourage all of you to be involved in some way, whether you've ever tried theater before or not. (I mean, I had never done theater before, and here I am directing my sixth Plautus play!) Try out for a speaking part and maybe you'll play Philocomasium, the clever woman who helps trick the solider so she can be with her boyfriend, Pleusicles. Maybe a non-speaking part is more your style and you can be a silly cook, mocking the solider after he gets tricked. Maybe you're more musically inclined and you can bring your instrument to play to accompany the actors. Or maybe you're artistic and you can help out painting the set or designing the cover art for the program. There really is something for everyone! -Magistra Carroll
