Brittany Johnson graduated from Bowdoin College in 2012 with a Classics major and furthered her studies at Columbia until she graduated from the CLST MA program in the spring of 2015. Since graduating, she has stayed involved with Classics at Columbia through her participation in the choruses of four recent Barnard Columbia Ancient Drama Group productions, including co-directing 2018's Frogs alongside the incomparable Carina de Klerk. Brittany is particularly interested in adaptations of Greek drama, as they provide a lens through which to view the social and political anxieties of our time. Her MA thesis centered around recent productions of Euripides' Medea and the treatment of the Chorus within the parameters of modern theater. She was lucky enough to stage two of her own adaptations during her time at Columbia: Aristophanes' Clouds (2014) and Knights (2016), the latter of which premiered during the "Aristophanes and Politics" conference hosted by the Classical Studies Department. Brittany has been teaching Latin and Greek at a girls' school in Westchester for the past six years, and absolutely loves to introduce new students to the study of the ancient world.
