The Fort Hays State University Department of Theatre’s fall production of Antigone, pronounced An-tih-guh-nee, will be performed this weekend in Malloy Hall. It is based on Sophocles\u2019s ancient Greek play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prepare for the play, the stage crew and actors have been rehearsing since the semester started, putting in an immense amount of effort to give us the best performance possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gordon Schroeder, a member of the chorus and messenger in the cast, said the rehearsal process helped prepare everyone for this weekend\u2019s shows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt kind of depends on where we\u2019re at, so when we start, it’s just read-through. We read through it once, and then Catherine, our director, makes us read through it again, especially with a big show like this with long monologues,\u201d he said. \u201cWe take time to see what kind of tactics each character is using in each monologue. And after a while we transition to full runs like what we\u2019re doing now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
