Greek Drama / Black Lives: Intergenerational Collaboration in Philadelphia is an ACLS sponsored project designed to restore and fortify relationships between Bryn Mawr College, Community College of Philadelphia, and the E. M. Stanton School (K-8) in South Philadelphia. The project encompasses a year of vibrant outreach programming culminating in a collaborative reimagination Euripides' Medea, which centers questions of race and familial conflict, and the characters of Medea's children. This is “Greek theater through Black eyes.”
