Performance of Ancient Greek Play

9th Graders Re-Enact Oedipus Rex

Ms. Restivo’s Honors Freshmen English class got a taste of what it was like to perform 

in an Ancient Greek play during their study of Sophocles’ famous tragedy, Oedipus Rex.  Taking advantage of the beautiful outside prayer space, The Labyrinth, the class recreated scenes from the play, in an environment similar to the Greek amphitheaters.  

9th graders Ben Zeuner, Danielle Chaham, Rennie Alvarez-Smith, and Shaina Goodis 

got to flex their acting muscles and give their best dramatic readings of the challenging 

and compelling material. Next on the 9th grade honors reading list is the post-apocalyptic novel, Lord of the Flies.
