• Staging Ancient Drama is an ongoing project, begun in 2017 in which I supervise undergraduates in putting on a full staging of an ancient Greek or Roman play.  Students enroll in a 1-credit course with the engagement attribute to reflect the active and engaged learning that takes place as part of this experience.  Performances are held annually in late April and are free and open to the public. Performances are supported by grants from the Office of Student Engagement and the Arizona Community Foundation.

• The SCS's Committee on Ancient and Modern Performance (CAMP) performs a play (either Greek, Roman, or on Classical themes) annually at the meeting of the SCS. Theater in Greece and Rome (TIGR) performs a staged reading at each meeting of CAMWS. These performances are not simply entertainment, but rather applied experiments in theatrical practices, translation, interpretation, and reception. I regularly participate in these performances as an actor (and occasionally a singer; once as director).
