The Greek Mythology Olympiaganza
by Don Zolidis
Directed by Dave DeChristopher
April 19th at 7:00pm
April 20th at 2:00pm and 7:00pm
April 21st at 2:00pm
Studio Theater
Two battling narrators attempt to cover the entirety of Greek mythology using audience participation, wild imaginations, and general theatrical insanity. Creation myths such as Pandora's Box and Cronos and the Titans jostle for space with other famous myths like Jason and the Argonauts (the original Super Friends). Culminating in a heart-pounding, five-minute, two-actor version of The Iliad, this fast-paced, free-wheeling play is wild, silly, and a complete blast for all ages.
