- Each year, the Classics Play produces an all-new English translation of a Classical play, often with original music, in an off-campus venue. Past venues have included the Sala Rossa, the Montr茅al听arts interculturels space, the Mainline Theatre, and the Theatre Ste Catherine.
- We have also performed free, community-based shows, such as at Westmount's Victoria Hall, and at the Hellenic Community Centre of Greater Montr茅al.听

- In the last eleven years, over 300 students have gained valuable experience participating in the 成人VR视频 Classics Play (translating, directing, acting, writing music, playing music, designing and making costumes, doing make-up, designing lighting, tech directing, stage managing, managing publicity and marketing, and keeping the books). These students are undergraduates and graduates, and have come from faculties across 成人VR视频- we have also had students from UdeM and Concordia participate.
- Any university student who wants to participate can; anyone who auditions is cast.
- The 成人VR视频 Classics Play hires local artists to participate in and enhance our shows- we believe that we can learn from each other through engaging ancient texts. Past artistic collaborations have been with musicians, composers, comedians, mask actors and local dance troupes.
