CHARIOT OF THE SUN
Greek Mythology
This program was selected for the CT Commission on Culture and Tourism Artist Roster in 2007.
Chariot of the Sun (Grades 3-8)
Meet the heroes, gods and monsters of Greek mythology!
Using a combination of poetry, masks, mime, and skillful audience
participation, Chariot of the Sun brings these classic tales to life. Included are
the myth of Phaethon and his chariot, Pandora and her mysterious
box, and the thrilling tale of Odysseus & Cyclops. It's a dynamic presentation that offers an
accessible and fun introduction to the stories of ancient Greece!
Length: 50 Minutes
The Golden Lyre (Grades K-2)
It was a dragon-like monster called the Gorgon who stole the lyre (pronounced liar) and turned the King's daughter to stone. The only way she can be changed back is by hearing the music of the lyre, but no one knows where the Gorgon's cave is located. It's only when a young man named Alex shows up at the palace that things take a dramatic turn. Like CHARIOT OF THE SUN, the show uses a combination of poetry, masks, and mime, as well as call-and-response, where students make a host of fantastic sounds to move the story along.
