Abstract
During March 2019, when the COVID-19 Pandemic initiated lockdowns in the U.S. and the UK, the Center for Hellenic Studies and Out of Chaos Theatre collaborated in creating a series called " Reading Greek Tragedy Online " (RGTO). This project generated weekly ninety-minute episodes for the rest of 2020 and then followed up with shorter 'seasons' in the following year to produce fifty episodes of performance, discussion, and investigation of Greek tragedy, comedy, and even epic. 1 As we emerge from the Pandemic and look to the future, the process of creating and curating these performances has much to offer for thinking about group engagements with dramatic performance in the ancient world, for reconsidering the impact of re-performing tragedy today, and for expanding our assumptions about what we can do with the remains of ancient drama in the classroom. For readers who are unfamiliar with the series, I will start by explaining where it came from and what the episodes were like before discussing what I learned from the process myself and how it has changed the way I view Greek drama in general and its study in the modern classroom. 2 1 For a full listing of episodes and participants, see https://chs.harvard.edu/ programs/reading-greek-tragedy-online/. 2 For additional detail and discussion, see Christensen and O'Mahony 2022; cf. discussions on the podcasts: APGRD Episode 5 (http://www.apgrd. ox.ac.uk/digital-resources/podcast/episode-5), August 2020 or A Bit Lit, April 2021 (https://abitlit.co/conversations/reading-greek-tragedy-online-with-paul-omahony-evelyn-miller-and-joel-christenen/).
