Frogs Take Manhattan

Claire Catenaccio has received a generous Enhancement Grant from the Dean's Office for her undergraduate class Greek on Aristophanes. The class will now include a weekend trip to New York City at the end of March! Students will watch a production of Aristophanes' Frogs in Ancient Greek, put on by the Barnard/Columbia Ancient Drama Group. After the production, the class will have the opportunity to talk to the director, designer, and actors, and will also pay a visit to the world-class collection of vase-paintings and figurines in the Greco-Roman Collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, many of which provide evidence for ancient comedy.
