A recent production of the Greek tragedy “Oedipus Rex,” performed by the Penn State Harrisburg Capital Players Theatre Club, incorporated technologically forward staging and design elements different than anything seen before from Penn State Harrisburg students.
Oedipus Rex has been performed since 429 BC, and one of the challenges identified by the crew was making a text that seems “other worldly at times” take on a fresh, modern atmosphere while remaining true to its ancient Greek traditions.
“Technology has changed the way that contemporary theatre is done in a lot of ways,” Goranson said. “With our production of “Oedipus Rex,” we took advantage of technology every step of the way."
