Faculty mentor: Dr. Liane Houghtalin
Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl. A long-lost brother. A long-lost sister. A greedy pimp. A greedy banker. Some helpful friends. In short, the usual Roman comedy. Fun for all, and no one gets hurt (except maybe the greedy pimp). Plautus inspired Shakespeare’s comedies and Broadway’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. See the original!
4 pm, Heslep Amphitheatre (rain location: Pollard 304)
Free admission, open to the public
