THROWBACK: A MEGA-MYTH MASHUP
November 27 – December 8 WAITLIST ONLY
Performance Length: One hour
Suggested Grade Level: 4-8
Suggested Curricula: Language Arts, Social Studies, Theater
You probably know by now that history is StoryMakers’ jam! And this time it’s a mythic mashup of tales from the ancient world. So…what if Odysseus (Ulysses) teamed up with Aeneas (uh…Aeneas) after the Trojan War? And, what if Echo won’t shut up and Narcissus won’t stop looking at himself? Annoying? Yeah. And what if the Cyclops (one eye) meets Argus (a hundred eyes)? Would they “see” things differently? Don’t look now. From Mesopotamia and Egypt to Athens and Rome, we’ll mash up the madness without making a major mess; maybe. It’s very smart and STUPID fun! And also alliterative.
(See what we did there?)

There’s rhythm in the telling of Anansi tales as the stories are told, sung, danced and drummed. Come ready to listen, learn, dance and play!
