Myths, Monsters, & Mischief
In Fall 2026, Primary Players embarks on an unforgettable journey to Ancient Greece! We’re diving into the exciting world of Greek mythology through storytelling, drama, imagination, and play. Everyone has heard of mighty Zeus, ruler of the sky, or Poseidon, god of the sea—but what about the lesser-known figures who keep Mount Olympus and the mortal world interesting?
- Think of Hestia, the gentle goddess of the hearth who keeps the sacred fires burning while the other gods wage war.
- Meet Hypnos, the mysterious god of sleep who can put even the mightiest immortals into a deep, dream-filled slumber.
- Then there’s Pandora, the curious first woman who holds a legendary box full of unexpected surprises.
- Or Medusa, the famous snake-haired guardian who might just be looking for a fresh start as an epic hero instead of a monster.
Together, we’ll uncover the fascinating stories of surprising gods, goddesses, heroes, and mythical creatures.
Here’s what we’ll do…
Uncover the Legends: Discovering the fascinating stories of lesser-known gods, goddesses, heroes, and mythical creatures from across the acient world.
Imagine “What If?”: Use collaboration, creativity, and theatrical exploration to turn classic myths upside down. What if the god of sleep drank an energy drink? What is the famous box stayed closed?
Make Our Own Adventures: Bring these tales to life by creating original scenes, larger-than-life characters, and brand-new epic moments worthy of Mount Olympus. Come build confidence, teamwork, and storytelling skills as we step into a world filled with prophecy, magic, monsters, and adventure.
Prepare for a journey of mythological mischief, heroic quests and theatrical fun worthy of Mount Olympus!
Which myth will you reinvent?
