Enjoy an afternoon of laughs at the American premier of one of the most popular comedies in Northern Europe for the past 300 years, Ulysses of Ithaca, Ludvig Holberg’s satire of Homer’s epic of the Trojan Wars is performed as common farce and it will keep you laughing from start to finish. This new translation was made by our own Jerry Argetsinger, whose translations of Holberg’s comedies have been published for over 30 years. Both performances take place at 2 p.m. in the Community Room and they are free and open to the public. Donations will be gratefully accepted. Auditions for this production will take place in January.
