Ancient worlds come to life
The folks at the University of Pennsylvania Museum have thought of everything when it comes to getting you into their new permanent exhibit, “Worlds Intertwined: Etruscans, Greeks and Romans.” They’ve even acquired a slave to guide you through the galleries. And as he takes you through three civilizations, you will meet an anxious Etruscan priestess, a jealous Goddess Athena and a senator bent on restoring the Roman Republic.
All of these people come courtesy the Vagabond Acting Troupe, which specializes in experimental, educational and site-specific interactive theater. The Museum commissioned the Vagabond troupe to develop “Three Worlds Intertwined” specifically for the exhibit.
