CRYSTAL FARNSWORTH With the fan A & E E d i t o r went'onfor wLYs to accommodate the seating that allows ^di- encemembers to sit around the entire stage rather than in the usual plush, red seating in Woed- Mar. The "in-the-round" seating has reduced the number of 257 to somewhere between 160 and 250. Tickets for the play are purchased with the options of sitting on the north, south, east or west side. _ In ancient times, theater in-the-round was common in both Greece an ome. after these two civilizations fell, this mode of theater became obscure. It was not until the 20th century that theater in the round began to once more be widely explored. Theater in-the-round presents a unique opportunity for the audience as well as the actors and stage builders of "Trojan Women." Unlike the traditional seating of Wood-Mar, a perform ance in the round puts the audience almost on top of the action going on onstage. This creates an interactive and intimate feel for the audience that is unique to this type of set design. For the actors and stage designers, special considerations must be taken to ensure the audience is not alienated in any way. Stage design must be created so audience view is not obscured by the set, and actors must create blocking that involves the entire audience even while they are forced to always keep their back to one side of the audience. Line delivery by the actors must also be loud enough so the entire theater can hear what is being said. Rhett Leudtke, Assistant Professor of Theatre at Fox, is excited by the opportunity that doing a play in the round creates for actors. He says, "The majority of professional theaters in the United States either work in-the-round or in thrust arenas. As such, our program is dedicat ed to exposing our student actors to the techniques and demands of performing in such intimate settings." Leudtke continued, '"Trojan Women' is our first step towards preparing our students to act in a venue other than a regular proscenium stage Set ting."

"But to me, it's all about the story." Streufert translated the version of "Trojan Women" that the University Repertory Theatre is producing this fall. Streufert, a professor at the University of Texas in Tyler, specializes in ancient Greek and Roman literature, and dramatic texts are his main research focus. He has a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and has translat ed three of Euripides' plays. When Rhett Luedtke, assistant professor of theatre, contacted Streufert, the specialist was excited about getting his translation of "Trojan Women" produced at George Fox. There s no one better I'd rather have work on this production than [Leudtke]," Struefert said. "He is a talented guy." "Trojan Women" was written and produced by Euripides in 416 B.C. It was part of a trilogy and won second place in a tragedy competition, but it is not one of Euripides' most well-known plays.

Luedtke said, "Unless you've watched Brad Pitt's 'Troy' (or read 'The Iliad'), you may be pretty unfamiliar with what's going on." Those who do not know will soon catch on, he said. As an educator for theater majors, Luedtke said, one of the primary reasons for performing "Trojan Women" is "introducing the actors and the audience to ancient Greek theater so they can understand where theater comes from." Luedtke said "Trojan Women" is more challenging than conternporary shows. This play causes us "to reflect on society as a whole," Luedtke said. "It's a play about 'Look, this is what happens when war happens.'"
