Memnon
CCA Gathering at The Getty Villa
~~UPDATES AND RESOURCES~~
~~UPDATES AND RESOURCES~~
What an outstanding performance of this new drama! All who gathered thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the dramatic portrayals of Trojan War figures by The Classical Theater of Harlem!
Our future collaborations will focus on creating and gathering more teaching resources to be available later this fall. You can be a part of that!
Our CCA South Gathering led to a joint NCLG-ACL Webinar with the Memnon CTH Director Carl Cofield and brilliant playwright Will Power, plus comments from local teachers. The NCLG worked all year to expand the resources into folders of content for teachers and lessons for student, creating two pages HERE. Check them out!
