Clackamas Repertory Opens 2023 Season...
The Ivy League will never be the same as a pair of screwball Greek deities encounters the complexity of college codes, campus capers and conspicuous consumption. Ludwig's laugh outloud comedy tells the tale of Daphne and Ralph, young Classics professors who have just discovered a long-lost play by Euripides. Through a disastrous mistake, they lose it - and their chance at academic stardom. When Daphne calls on the Ancient Greek Gods of Comedy to get her out of the mess, the gods actually appear, and bring hilarity and mayhem with them.
Clackamas Rep's production features Tom Walton as Aristide, Alexis and Ares; Jasmyn Tilford as Daphne; Marilyn Stacey as Dean Trickett; John San Nicolas as Ralph; Aislin Courtis as Zoe and Brooklyn; Tom Mounsey as Dionysus; and Cyndy Smith-English as Thalia. San Nicholas is a member of the Actors Equity Association. Jayne Stevens, Assistant Managing Director for Clackamas Rep, is directing the show.
