Story of the Play:
Ashley, a freshman sprite, makes her first visit to Mt. Olympus to meet the
powerful pantheon of gods and goddesses of Ancient Greece. She is
overwhelmed by the way the Great Olympians live and the power that they wield,
and wants to grab a little of the glory for herself. She becomes friends
with Persephone, the goddess of spring who is running away from her brooding
husband, Hades. Together the women set off on an ambitious odyssey to
steal Zeus' lightning bolts, Poseidon's trident, and Hades' helmet of
invisibility and take over Mt. Olympus! They are pursued by the vengeful
goddess, Hera, and eventually learn an important lesson about the balance of
power. The up-beat score includes a rousing gospel number, "That's the Way
It Is"; the bluesy "The Gods Don't Play Fair"; Poseidon's be-bop surfer song,
"Go with the Flow"; and Hades' haunting ballad, "Gifts Under the Earth."
This musical rocks with mirth, mayhem and myth-adventure!
