About this event
As part of its annual observance of Classical Week this month, Mississippi State’s Judy and Bobby Shackouls Honors College is presenting a theatrical performance of Plautus’ “The Braggart Soldier,” which examines the concept of unexpected heroes who accomplish extraordinary feats.
A comedy first performed in Rome in 206 B.C., “The Braggart Soldier” is considered the greatest of Plautus’ 21 surviving works.
Free and open to the public, performances take place Sept. 24 and 25 at 6 p.m. in the Griffis Hall Courtyard at Zacharias Village.
Donna Clevinger, professor of communication and honors college senior fellow, is director.
Performers are all Shackouls Honors College students representing a variety of MSU majors.
The play will proceed rain or shine but will move to the first-floor common area of Griffis Hall in the event of inclement weather.
Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating, as well as a picnic.
