After a long-awaited return since the effects of the pandemic, Thomas More University's Villa Players kick off with three spectacular performances of “Oedipus Rex".
The cast for Oedipus Rex included the following:
Oedipus - Braxton Broering
Jocasta - Elizabeth Butler
Creon - Joseph Waterbury-Tieman
Teiresias - Bob Allen Corinthian
Messenger - Braden Vicars
Shepherd - Seth Sherman
Reporter Chorus:
Penelope - Allison Bartlett
Leon - Garrett Flynn
Dorian - Ian Galloway
Hermia - Amber Konerman
Damon - Michael Switzer
Thaddeus - Russell Quisenberry
Teiresias’ Boy - Aden Saddler
Antigone - Natalie Lorenz
Ismene - Laura Jetter
Creon Understudy - Kieran Casey
The performers worked long and hard to organize this piece and find themselves with a breath of fresh air as they present outside of the Mary, Seat of Wisdom chapel. Last weekend was a huge success for the Villa Players, as the tickets were sold out for all three shows!
As we reflect today, we can see the charitable memories of the long past pushed forward by the Villa Players! These joyful times are that of which the university upholds, as friends and family of the Villa Players come together to enjoy the show.
