An entertaining and beautiful blend of the art of storytelling, the integrity of Greek mythology, and young audience engagement. Nora Louise Syran gifts us with excellent roles for a variety of youth actors, bringing old stories alive for today's appreciation. Clarity on casting and design suggestions provide ease for the potential production at a school setting. A lovely message of inspiration for young artists!

It was originally three separate plays of 22-26 speaking/character roles

I THINK 12 would work but I need to test it out!
