Coming to the New England Youth Theater a new educational show about myths - Greek myths, in fact, Greek myths with a twist (repeat 10 times fast)! No, a myth is not a female moth! From the brain child of David Zucker, creator of Poetry in Motion, and professional actor Richard McElvain, comes MythMasters, an imaginative new program of Olympic proportions. This story is brought to life by Actors Matthew Tibbs and Doran Hamm, who take MythMasters to a whole new level. These Myths, both ancient and modern, are rich, dramatic tales that have helped humans make sense of and face the unknown for thousands of years. Tibbs and Hamm, armed with international experience in children's theater and degrees in fine and performing arts, bring their own playful style to help blow off the dust of centuries from the myths of ancient Greece, bringing the power, majesty, and magic of Mt. Olympus wonderfully to life.
Through a skillful and entertaining combination of theatrical techniques (masks, mime, comedy, drama, puppets, costumes, music, reverence, irreverence, and lots of audience participation) these modern Marx Brothers allow the gods and goddesses, heroes and villains, monsters and maidens of ancient Greece to walk the earth again. This engaging program is certain to bring wonder and delight to both adults and young audiences, and to fire their interest in further exploration of one of the world's most ancient and fascinating civilizations.
Shows are Friday February 12th at 7pm, Saturday February 13 and Sunday February 14th at 2pm. Tickets are just $3 dollars for adults, $2 dollars for children and seniors and all educators get in for free! This show is suitable for families of all ages and runs about an hour without an intermission. Tickets available at the door one hour before show time. It’s the next best thing to being on Mt. Olympus!
You can bring these Myth Masters to your school, classroom, library, church or festival for a delightfully educational exploration of ancient Greek Mythology. Discover why schools in MA, CT, and NY bring this show back year after year!
