Freaks And Greeks
A Mythological
Morality Comedy
by January M. Akselrad
Target Grades:
5th and 6th
Genre: History
(Ancient Civilizations)
Cast:
50+ (non gender-specific roles)
Time:
60-70 minutes
Music: Two songs/sung separately and as a duet (CD or MP3, Performance Tracks, lyrics and lead sheet included)
Summary:
Something is amiss on Mt.
Olympus and Zeus is so mad he’s throwing thunderbolts! Calling a meeting
of all of the Greek gods, he demands to know why no one believes in them
anymore. To find out, the pantheon is commanded to go down to New York
City, live among the humans and find out the answer. Trouble begins as
Demeter (goddess of the harvest) gets lost in the green market,
Aphrodite (goddess of beauty) gets picked up by a modeling agency and
Ares (god of war) ends up playing Laser tag in midtown…and that’s just
three of them! Mistaken identities and adventurous deities make for
chaos, good fun and lots of learning.
Price: $19.95 (includes licensing fee)
"...Having seen many of her plays
performed by students, I can definitively say that Ms. Akselrad knows of
what she writes. Her original plays are imaginative, engaging and
delightful. Following her lead, one can certainly be assured of a
successful, educational and fun-filled experience!"
