Ancient worlds come to life

The Vagabonds in the gallery: (top, left to right) An Etruscan priestess (Kate Giesermer), a Roman senator (Leonard Kelly), the Goddess Athena (Rose Evans) and (bottom) the slave who travels through all three worlds (Jason Stockdale).

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. Theyve 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.
