"Polyeucte." The new translation is by Scot Lahaie, assistant professor
and director of theater, and Ute Lahaie, associate professor of
French and German in the Department of World Languages and Literature
at Gardner-Webb.

The last translation of the play, which is about the founding of the
Armenian church, was in 1957.

on Nov. 15, 16 and 17 will also begin at 7:30 p.m. with a 2:30
