One of the privileges of my job, such as it is, is to get to see lots of theatre. I have had a love of theatre since I was in elementary school and my mom would take us to shows at Storrowton Theater (a Summer theatre in-the-round under a tent in Springfield, Ma. during the 60s and 70s).<\/p>\n

Last night I shot production stills for Argonautika at Howard Community College. This is a student production of Mary Zimmerman’s play depicting the voyages of Jason and The Argonauts (of Greek Mythology fame).
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This play is a wonderful adaptation of the story with great comedic elements highlighted with, oh, a bit of anachronism.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A few costumes that one my consider. Ah, silly.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What else does this play have?
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAre you kidding?
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nFencing, fighting,
\n\"\"<\/a>
\ntorture, revenge,
\n\"\"<\/a>
\ngiants, monsters,
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nchases, escapes, true love,\u00a0miracles…
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nand Goddesses!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The comparison to the Princess Bride is apt (did you get that reference?), this show has it all and it is lovely.<\/p>\n

The set works very well and the cast clearly has a great time in the production.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
