The Trojan War is over and Odysseus wants to go home with his crew. Unfortunately, the Fates have other plans in mind. While his wife Penelope waits - not so patiently - at home, our hero bounces around the Aegean, finding adventures that Homer would never recognize. Sisyphus and his band The Rolling Rocks entertain the wandering crew, Atlas sings them the "World on My Shoulders Blues", the Cyclops warns all to "stay outta my face" and much more. This musical is a playful and entertaining interweaving of many Greek myths - a great teaching tool!

KING ARTHUR'S KNIGHTS AND DAYS

Every kingdom needs a queen" and King Arthur gets one in this romp with the characters from the court of Camelot. Arthur develops the Round Table Code, "Might for Right and Be Polite," but is almost overthrown by Mordred and sorceress Morgan LeFey. An off-beat solution breaks the spell and King Arthur, Lancelot, and knights save Guinevere. With its upbeat score, this show is a great way to introduce students to these classic characters.
