Abstract
Plautus, Pseudolus (133-234). All-male cast, directed by Mark Damen, with collaboration from the other group members, Tarik Wareh, Christopher Bungard, Daniel Walin, and Michael Katchmer. Music composed by T. H. M. Gellar-Goad. Clarinetist: Tony Sprinkle.
As the young lover Calidorus and his slave Pseudolus watch on, the pimp Ballio drives his slaves outside his brothel and denounces them for being lazy and wasting his money. He then leads out some prostitutes, including Calidorus' beloved Phoenicium, and insists they bring in more money and gifts. It is, he claims, his birthday. When he leads them back inside his house, Calidorus begs Pseudolus to find some way to free Phoenicium from Ballio.
