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.
