GREENVILLE, Pa.-- The Thiel Players will perform their fourth production of the academic year “Medea” on April 15-16 and April 17 in Thiel College’s William A. Robinson Theater.

Written by Euripides and first performed nearly 2,500 years ago, the Greek tragedy has been one of the most frequently performed dramas. The play follows the tale of the main character Medea. Scorned by her husband, she gets vengeance by killing their two children, her husband and his new wife and her father.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on April 15 and 16 and 2 p.m. on April 17. The production is free and open to the public. Due to the stage configuration, seating for the production is limited. Reservations for the performance are required; there will be no late seating.
