Braswell Theatre presents "The Trojan Women" Oct 18-20
History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme. Join the Braswell Theatre Department as they
open their third season with the classic Greek tragedy, ”The Trojan Women, ” by Euripides with
an modern translation by Nicholas Rudall on October 18-20 in the Braswell Auditorium.
The cyclical nature of history is explored in this unique take on the Greek tragedy, as they
analyze the idea that war is constant throughout history and is never-ending.
“We are really excited to bring classical dramatic literature to our students with a modern twist,”
theater director Michelle Greene said, “Our students have worked on this production since early
September and have grown leaps in bounds both on stage and off.”
This production features the Braswell Bravo Company’s largest fall show cast and crew in
department history, with 62 members in the cast and crew.
Thespian Vice-President and senior Dani Wilson said, “It's amazing to look back and see just
how far we’ve come in three short years. We’ve made so much progress as a department in such
a small amount of time, and you’ll be able to see that progress as soon as the lights dim and the
curtain opens.”
With opening night approaching, Stage Manager Mackenzie Milhizer couldn't be more proud of
her cast and crew. “The Trojan Women is a truly unique and empowering show,” Milhizer said,
“These actors are undoubtedly committed and put in every effort they can to tell this story.”
Performances run October 18-20 with a 7:00 p.m. performance each night and a 2:00 p.m.
matinee on Saturday, October 20th. All performances will be held in the Braswell High School
Auditorium at 26750 E University Dr, Aubrey, TX 76227 .
