Session Two Only – Main Stage Musical

Learn the elements of musical theatre as you prepare to perform Olympus: The Greek Rock Musical!

Description: OLYMPUS is a laugh-out-loud rock musical where ancient myths meet modern mischief!

The Greek gods, tired of their immortal routines, spark a competition to meddle with mortals and prove who’s the greatest Greek god of all time.

When a group of modern-day cousins set off on a hike to “Olympus Overlook,” they have no idea they are about to be tested by ancient deities.

With catchy songs, numerous solos, heartfelt moments, and plenty of laughs, Olympus is a mythic adventure about family, connection, and discovering that the real view from the top is the one you share together.

All roles are non-gender specific.
