"Bacchar" is a new take on Greek tale

February 9, 2012   "This is not your grandfather's Greek tragedy," Professor Kevin Wetmore said of the theatre arts program's production of "The Bacchae of Euripides."

Wetmore, who is directing this run, said, "It only makes sense to perform one of his plays here."
