On September 27, the Pacifica Junior Classical League team along with other Latin 3 and 4 students went to the Getty Villa in Malibu for an evening filled with education and entertainment as they watched a special performance of the award winning 1980’s play, The Gospel at Colonus, which is a retelling of Sophocles’ last known work Oedipus at Colonus. The play was performed in the Romanesque Outdoor Theater at the Getty Villa. It was a wonderful opportunity to experience what it was like to watch a play in ancient Roman times where none of the actors were mic’d, and the interaction with the audience was palpable and immediate. Students had the opportunity to attend a special Q&A session with the actors, and then had one hour of unlimited private access to the Getty Villa Museum. Other schools in attendance included students from UCLA, USC, and Westmont.
