Blanchard Performing Arts Workshop

Advisor: Mrs. Karen Sacco
We are pleased to announce the cast list for the Blanchard Theatre Arts (formally Blanchard Performing Arts) production of Myth Adventures: Five Greek Classics by Eric Coble. Myth Adventures, a comedy/drama, is a “journey into the ancient world of Greek mythology with some of the greatest characters to grace a stage….Taken as separate one acts, or as a full-length play, Myth Adventures is a fresh look at classic legends which sold out 50 performances in its premiere at the Cleveland Playhouse.” Blanchard Theatre Arts will perform the first two acts of this play at the Massachusetts Drama Guild Middle School Festival on Saturday, May 1st. We will then perform the entire play at Blanchard on Saturday, May 15th at 2PM and 7PM. The cast is as
follows:
Dionysus Nick N.
Pageboy #1 Sabina H.
Pageboy #2 Emily P.
King Midas Sam N.
Silenus Cooper H.
Calliope Kelly R.
Orpheus Thomas M.
Euridice Bridget S.

Just a couple of notes about casting:
- There are several actors/actresses with two smaller roles, as opposed to one larger role. Also please keep in mind the old saying, “There are no small roles, just small actors.”
- Some of the male characters will be played by females. In the original production of this show, there were only six actors who played ALL of the characters – and most of the male characters were played by females. It will certainly be a challenge for you!
OK, so now the cast is set....what next?!?
- Please pick up a script from Mrs. Sacco in room 12 as soon as possible.
- Read through the script to become familiar with the play.
- Get to know your character (there are a lot of great websites online with information about Greek mythology).
- The entire cast MUST be present at the read-through on Thursday, February 4th. The read-through will take place in the auditorium until late buses.
- If you do NOT have a copy of the rehearsal schedule, please see Mrs. Sacco.
We'd like to thank everyone for auditioning. You are a talented group! We are so excited for this production!
Mrs. Sacco & Miss Sacco
