In 2014 SCIT produced its first—and, to date, only—Latin play, Plautus' Casina . The production, directed by Oren Stevens and produced by Sienna Kang, Alan Sheppard, and Ava Shirazi, also marked a departure from our hyper-modern political satires in that it was set in late-nineteenth century San Francisco, the Gilded Age or railway tycoons and university founding. The original production took place May 1–3 in Stanford's Toyon Hall, and was revived on October 24 at the Marines' Memorial...

SCIT's 2013 season took a step away from Aristophanes—and from comedy—to adapt the only complete extant satyr play, Euripides' Cyclops , as only the Golden State can: with hipsters and Hollywood. Polly Famous is a former film star now fading away in her Hollywood mansion, luring young talent to her home in a desperate attempt to gain the limelight again. Ava Shirazi and Hans Wietzke co-directed the production, which ran May 23–25 in Toyon Hall. The video combines parts of the May 24 and...

SCIT's adaptation of The Wasps was written during the 2010 midterm election season, and accordingly stars Sarah Palin and a chorus of Mamma Grizzlies. The production took place on March 3–5 at the Elliott Program Center. Al Duncan directed, and Carolyn MacDonald and Alan Sheppard co-produced. The video is from the March 4 performance. This video is a splicing together of two YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oSwZcsXrC0 (act 1) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp6_F0jUEf4...

The Clouds is always a topical play for an academic audience, and SCIT's 2010 production drove the point home with a distinctly Californian production pitting Modesto farmer Shifty McThrifty (Aristophanes' Strepsiades) against the urban/ivory tower elitism of Professor Socrates and his students. The production was directed by James Kierstead and produced by Carolyn MacDonald, and took place on May 14 and 15 at Stanford's Annenberg Auditorium. Players Shifty McThrifty Matthew Loar Diesel...

Men's Rites: An Alt-Comedy performed by Stanford Classics in Theater May 12 and 13, 2017 at the Elliott Program Center. SCIT's 2017 production was a gender-flipped version of Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazusae , directed by Stephen Sansom and Ava Shirazi. Instead of Euripides invading a women's festival, our production saw the notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg infiltrating a motley crew of MRAs. The video recording is likely of the May 12 performance.

The Republican Party in Pieces: A Comedy (in Fragments) , performed by Stanford Classics in Theater May 13 and 14, 2016. In 2016 SCIT experimented with a series of interconnected one-act plays based on fragments of Old Comedy: Aristophanes' Banqueters , Cratinus' Wine Flask , and Eupolis' Demes . The show as a whole was set at the Republican National Convention, which, in the heated and divisive run-up to the 2016 election, seemed a magnet for fragmentation in all its senses.

In 2018, SCIT returned both to Plautus and to a (gently) historical setting with a Space Western adaptation of the Menaechmi . Twins Menaechmus and Menaechmus were separated long ago, one ending up on earth while the other searched the galaxy for his missing brother with his trusty companion Messenioid. Mistaken identities, handsome neighborhood madams, and voluminous pantaloons ensue! The Good, The Bad, and the Menaechmi was directed by Brandon Bark and performed at the Eliott Program Center...
