This summer, Magister Cavedo and I will be co-directing the Latin Academy play, which is Pseudolus by Plautus. This play features a clever slave who outsmarts his master to unite the master’s son with his lover. 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 seventh Plautus play!) Try out for a speaking part and maybe you'll play Simia, who pretends to be the soldier’s attendant as part of Pseudolus’ plan. Maybe a non-speaking part is more your style and you can be a silly cook, mocking the greedy pimp, Ballio. 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
