The Iliad, The Odyssey, and All of Greek Mythology in 99 Minutes or Less<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Character Breakdown<\/strong><\/p>\n

This fast-paced, ensemble-driven comedy tells the major stories of Greek mythology through rapid character changes, physical storytelling, heightened comedy, and direct engagement with the audience.<\/p>\n

This production will be cast as eight ensemble tracks<\/strong>. Each performer will play multiple roles throughout the show, with one or more featured anchor roles and a variety of supporting, comic, mythic, and utility characters. Casting is gender-flexible, and actors may be considered for any track. Performers should be comfortable with broad comedy, quick transitions, stylized movement, and collaborative ensemble work.<\/p>\n

Please note:<\/strong> Stage combat and physical contact\/proximity may be required for any track. Dialects, accents, or heightened vocal choices may be explored in rehearsal. The show moves quickly and requires strong cue pickup, clear storytelling, and energetic ensemble focus.<\/p>\n
