The Center for Teaching and Learning and the Theater Arts Department present
Faculty and Staff Night at the Theater

Friday, February 7 at 7:00 p.m.
Tjornhom-Nelson Theater, Foss Center

Antigonick
A new translation of Sophocles' Antigone
By Anne Carson
Directed by Martha Johnson

Free tickets for faculty and staff
Post-show refreshments
A talkback featuring Doug Green of the English Department, Marty Stortz of the Christensen Center for Vocation, Sarah Myers of the Theater Department, director Martha Johnson of the Theater Department, and the Antigonick student cast

In her highly innovative translations of ancient plays, acclaimed poet Anne Carson "combines contemporary language with the traditional structures and rhetoric of Greek tragedy, opening up [ancient tales]…to a modern audience…" In Antigonick, Carson emphasizes the importance of time-and timing-in tragedy, by introducing a silent character, Nick, who is always on stage measuring things while the events of the play unfold. Antigone is "here given an entirely fresh language and presentation." The Augsburg Theater Department production is an area premiere and only the second production ever of this provocative new play.

Make reservations at http://www.augsburg.edu/theater/reservations/ and please indicate you are faculty or staff interested in CTL Night.

20 free seats available on a first-come, first-served basis so reserve your tickets early!
