Laurel School presents: The Trojan Women~


Thursday, November 5 at 7:30 pm marks the opening of Laurel School's
production of Euripides's The Trojan Women.  The show tells the story of the
women of Troy after their city falls to the Greeks--and their deceptive
wooden horse--at the end of the ten-year Trojan War.  In moving words and
images, the actors delve into the effects of war, both on the victors and
the defeated.  From the performing to the PR, the stage crew to the sound
board, the students worked on every element of this production. The play,
translated by Ellen McLaughlin and directed by Leighann Niles Delorenzo,
will also run on Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7 at 7:30 pm and
Sunday, November 8 at 5:00 pm on the Rosaneil Schenk stage at Laurel School.
Tickets are on sale now: $7.00 for adults, $5.00 for students


Laurel School's tradition of show stopping theater lives on in the
production of The Trojan Women. This lucky cast has been immersed in an
encompassing theater experience, including a powerful text and the
traditions and techniques of international theater. The cast was trained in
the Suzuki Method of Actor Training. Famous for training the actors to
sustain a keen sense of  energy and focus, this method, created by Tadashi
Suzuki, involves developing the actor's will, stamina and concentration
through a series of physical exercises. In addition, the unique inclusion of
natural elements--allowing it to rain on stage at the top of the
show--artfully employs another Japanese theater tradition.
