Founders Theatre Presents “The Olympians”

THE OLYMPIANS, a A Muse-ical, (book by Cara Reichel, Musical Arrangements by Peter Mills),

Originally developed by TRW Production, New York, NY, Michael McFadden, Executive Director

THE OLYMPIANS reimagines Ancient Greece with a modern twist!

Three Greek goddesses: Athena, Aphrodite, and Artemis, engage in a bet about how to best advance women’s place in the world. They make a wager to determine which is the most powerful tool: a top-notch mind, a loving heart, or a fighting spirit? Each goddess chooses one mortal girl, plucked from obscurity, and sets each of the three girls on a quest to prove their point. When the male gods catch wind of the mortals’ plans, they use their powers to make the quests much more treacherous than the godesses intended. Ultimately, the mortal girls (and the goddesses) realize that it will take all three qualities to make a difference, and they realize that, rather than competing with each other, they must work together to prove that sometimes you can all be heroes.

Featuring an eclectic score of well-loved hits from Miley Cyrus, Kelly Clarkson, Blondie, The Chicks, Pat Benatar, and many more, this tale of Ancient Greece has never felt more contemporary.
