Circus Olympus

Circus Olympus

by Lindsay Price

The circus has come to town! Well… sort of. There's no elephant on a bicycle but there are the Greek Geeks and have they got a story or two to tell. More specifically, a myth or two: Pandora's Box, Persephone and the Underworld, King Midas, Athena and Arachne, and don't forget the Mythapalooza Slam Jam!

A gleeful celebration with excellent large cast expansion and parts for all abilities. Circus elements are optional and are suggested for each myth.

THREE different lengths are included: Two Acts, One Act, or a 20 minute Competition Piece.

Praise for Circus Olympus

Kristine Stephens
West Bloomfield High School
I loved how funny and creative this play was! I also appreciated that it was ensemble based and all students were able to shine.
Natasha Mcgregor
Gosforth Amateur Dramatic Society
There were plenty of opportunities to tailor the play to our cast. Flexible casting plus the inclusion of as many or as few circus elements as you like. The kids loved every minute!
Catherine Grootenboer
St Columba Anglican School
The kids had a great time and it was fun for audience and the staff.
