A bit of Comedy. A bit of Drama. All Talent!
Fall Show: The Greek Mythology Olympiaganza
Performances: October 19th, 20th, and 21st at 7pm
Summary: Two battling narrators attempt to cover the entirety of Greek mythology using audience participation, cross-dressing, and general theatrical insanity. Famous myths such as Pandora's Box, Jason and the Argonauts (the original Super Friends), and Hercules: Intern God jostle for space with obscure, weird myths such as the myth of Linus and the legend of the Argus. Culminating in a bizarre, musical dance-influenced version of The Iliad complete with a full-scale battle of little green army men, this play is wild, silly, and a complete blast for audiences of all ages.
Winter Show: 12 Angry Jurors
Performances: January 18th, 19th, and 20th at 7pm
Summary: A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. The jury’s deliberation grows personal, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become 12 angry men. The jurors' final verdict and how they reach it—in tense scenes that will electrify your audience and keep them on the edge of their seats—add up to a fine, mature piece of dramatic literature, an experience you'll be proud to present.

Performances: January 18th, 19th, and 20th at 7pm

Then they can't seem to remember who they really are, as opposed to the people they are playing in any of the various scripts. Then things start to get confusing...
