UPDATE: STANFORD IS SOLD OUT OF TICKETS.

On Sunday 9/30, MVGATE will lead a day of Greek Drama at Stanford University.

Our group will meet for an optional Mediterranean lunch in Palo Alto, then watch “The Wanderings of Odysseus,” an acclaimed dramatization of “The Odyssey” just returning from its four-week run in Athens. Then we’ll sneak backstage and chat with the cast & crew & director — including MVGATE parent/actor Courtney Walsh Phleger and Stanford classics professor/director Rush Rehm.

This event is a must for GATE kids (and parents!) who love history or literature or theater. Suggested ages grades 5-8, though exceptionally interested & well-behaved kids in grades 3-4 are welcome, too; we trust your judgment.

To join us,

• NOW, buy your own tickets at Stanford Theater’s website, before they sell out SOLD OUT

• Noon on 9/30, (optional) meet our MVGATE group for lunch at Gyros Gyros, 498 University Ave (at Cowper), Palo Alto (map)

• 5pm on 9/30, head back to MV for a good bedtime!

The lunch part is optional, but a casual Greek lunch together at noon in Palo Alto would be fun & set the mood before we head over to the theater.  We’ll meet at Gyros Gyros, 498 University Ave (at Cowper), Palo Alto.  (map)  It’s not fancy like the amazing Evvia, but it’s delicious and fun and suitable for kids.  Park on-street or in parking garage 100 ft away.
