Theatre Temp Presents: Antigone

 Theatre Temp Presents: Antigone

By Lukas Bell

After the massive success of Alice last December, the Templeton Theatre Company is preparing to follow up their sold-out success with another excellent play. This semester, Ms. Zambrano is not directing the play, but rather the father-and-son duo Micheal and Seamus Fera, two professional directors hired by the school. The play will be Antigone, and it will be showing on March 4th, 5th, 6th, 11th, 12th, and 13th. Antigone is a Greek tragedy, originally written by Sophocles and adapted by David Rush, about a man named Creon (played by Bethany Norman), the antagonist, who rises from the dust after a civil war caused by a fight between two brothers, hoping to bring order and peace to Thebes. He deems one brother a traitor, the other a hero. But Antigone (played by Milo Bogdanovic-Milosevic), the protagonist of the story and sister of the two brothers, wants to give her falsely accused brother a proper burial. She quarrels with her sister Ismene (played by Lilia deBoer) and Creon in her attempt to pass her brother into the afterlife. The play is very dramatic, with comedic, heartfelt, and very emotional moments. Theatre Temp’s production also has a large chorus, which bridges the gaps between scenes and offers narration, backstory, and many things to consider during the play. A drastic change has also been made to the stage: all the walls are gone! There is nowhere backstage for the actors to be, and they will therefore be standing on or around the stage for the entire play. Overall, Antigone will be a much heavier and more dramatic play than the previous one, but will have the same amount of effort, talent, and excellence as every other show by the Templeton Theatre Company. Make sure to buy your tickets early for the show in March; you will not be disappointed!

Columns

Image
By Megan Wong   Have you ever wondered where iconic architectural pillars came from? Well, the most common ones used today are considered the Classical Orders of Architecture which originated in ancient Greece and Rome. The five styles are called the Ionic, Doric, Corinthian, Tuscan, and Composite orders. They were used to define the style of the people living in certain areas of Europe and the era it was created in. Ionic Order The Ionic Order was created in ancient Greece by the Ionian Greeks in the 6th century. The column is primarily known for its two volutes as it gives the impression that the column is two-sided. It is also considered to be a more feminine version of the Doric column where the volutes and dart ornaments represent the female anatomy of ovaries and eggs. Others say that the volutes resemble scrolls to represent communication at the time. The order was created in Ionia, which we now know as Turkiye, and created some problems for architects at the time ...

The Results of the 2025 Municipal Byelection

By Amelia Kondor Vancouver had a municipal byelection on Saturday, April 6th. The byelection was called after city councilors Christine Boyle of OneCity and Adrian Carr of the municipal Green party left office (Kshatri). Boyle and Carr were both elected during the 2022 Vancouver Municipal election, an election which saw an ABC majority and Ken Sim elected as mayor (Kshatri). Sim and ABC were hoping to strengthen their majority in the byelection, running two candidates for the empty positions. Other parties running candidates included TEAM, headed by Colleen Hardwick, who ran for mayor in 2022, COPE, OneCity, and the Green party ("Long Lineups"). While municipal byelections traditionally have very low voter turnouts, this election had a voter turnout of around 15% which is "a 40 per cent increase from the 2017 byelection, when the turnout was around 11%. A total of 67,962 ballots were cast" (Kshatri). This unexpectedly high turnout comb...
