MIGHTY MYTHS & LEGENDS Comes to Georgia Shakespeare, 7/2-20

In continuing with an annual tradition of introducing young minds to ancient stories through their Family Classic Series, Georgia Shakespeare will present Mighty Myths & Legends, a collection of myths and legends adapted for the whole family to enjoy.

The cast of Mighty Myths & Legends will tell these tales in a unique way, revolving around a gorgeous 3,000 gallon pool of water. It's certain to be a theatrical experience unlike any other.

Mighty Myths & Legends covers well-loved myths such as Echo and Narcissus, Orpheus, Mermaids and Thor, as well as many others. A Nordic god puts his strength to the test.
