The Greek Play

Here is video of our cast members rehearsing while under the influence of those notoriously strong Dionysian spirits native to the Delphi environs.

In the second video, Alcestis’ child (played by Spencer Cohen) sings in woe about her mother’s ‘loss of existence’:

Child Song at Delphi

Reese could hear the song all the way at the top beyond the seats of the theater!
