Salvete Omnes!
We are approaching the performance of our play, Pseudolus, on Saturday at 2 pm in Blackwell Auditorium (the location of the Opening Ceremony). The students have worked extremely hard on this endeavor and have done everything from set design and music arrangement to acting and performing. Though the play is in Latin, we offer a synopsis in the program and include a brief prologue in English to situate our non-Latin speaking spectators. We hope that you will join us for the performance as well as the short reception to follow from 3-4 pm in Birdsong Cafe. We ask that all guests remain in the cafe during the reception. Also, please, remember that the use or possession of an internet-enabled device by a student at this event will result in a dismissal from the academy. We thank you for your support and understanding. Finally, after the reception, students will return to the dorms to pack and prepare for our final banquet. Those of you traveling from a distance might consider staying overnight in Ashland to be ready for checkout starting at 8 am on Sunday (more on that to follow). ex animo, Princeps
