Phoenix Theatre Ensemble has announced casting for Euripides’ Iphigenia at Aulis, to run March 3-13 at the Wild Project. Amy Wagner will direct the production, which will be the first installment in the company’s previously announced three-year House of Atreus trilogy.

Euripides’ play centers on what happens when Agamemnon receives a commandment from the Gods that he must sacrifice his daughter in order for the Greek army to sail to Troy.

The company will feature Joe Menino (Agamemnon), Elise Stone (Clytemnestra), Kelli Holsopple (Iphigenia), Josh Tyson (Achilles), John Lenartz (Menelaus), Brian Costello (Messenger), and Lawrence Merritt (Old Man), as well as Cheryl Cochran, Amy Fitts, and Laura Piquado, who will comprise the Chorus.

The creative team will include Maruti Evans (scenic and lighting design), Suzanne Chesney (costume design), and Elizabeth Rhodes (sound design).
