Our narrator, the greek god Hermes, was portrayed by Moses Banks. She showcased her powerful vocals and brought some sass into the character of Hermes. Ray Baer portrayed the soft and sensitive side of Orpheus as he tried to save Eurydice from the underworld. Joy Ellis portrayed Eurydice with spunk, and her solos were beautiful, especially “Flowers.” Ash Aquayo played Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, as angsty and wild while Adam Coe played Hades as stoic and pragmatic. The sharp contrast in characters was symbolic of spring and winter.
Our narrator, the greek god Hermes, was portrayed by Elijah Barlett. His strong vocals and charisma gets our attention and introduces us to the tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice. In addition to acting and singing, Jacob Cunningham, played the guitar as well for his performance of Orpheus. Caitlin Shorey portrayed the pain and hope of Eurydice with beautiful vocals, and she even handled a microphone issue with seamless ease of a professional. Deaglan Benson played the villain in this story, Hades, and his stoic and cold performance contrasted with Riley Fidler’s fun and warm performance of Persephone.
