STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擨f greed, cheapness and gold are involved, can a student theatrical production of those intertwined subjects not be entertaining?
Mississippi State鈥檚 Judy and Bobby Shackouls Honors College is inviting university and community members to join its Sept. 26 and 27 celebration of Greek, Roman and other ancient cultures.
鈥淎 Pot of Gold,鈥 the famous comedy by Roman playwright Titus Maccius Plautus (ca. 254-184 B.C.), will be staged by honors students from the Griffis Hall patio at the Zacharias Village courtyard as part of Classical Week.
