Arts Festival Production: The Boy Who Kicked Pigs, adapted by Kill the Beast

STC's Conservatory students bring this darkly twisted tale of mischief and revenge to life! Based on the book by Doctor Who's Tom Baker, this madly hilarious, frenetic scream of a show, which includes shark-mauling beach-goers, burning vicars, and even waltzing rats, is a multi-rolling masterpiece that tells the gloriously grisly tale of one scoundrel's attempt at infamy. 
Presented: Friday 4/19 at 7 pm & Saturday 4/20 at 2 pm & 7 pm - Tickets: $13

STC On Tour: A Children's Theater Experience (Community Outreach Block - Arts 1)

Students will work together to rehearse and perform a touring children's theater production that will be performed at local schools. This allows students to gain practical experience as performers while giving back to the community. This year's piece is "The Greek Mythology Olympiaganza" by Don Zoldis - Two battling narrators attempt to cover the entirety of Greek mythology using audience participation, cross-dressing, and general theatrical insanity. Creation myths like Pandora's Box, Cronos, and the Titans jostle for space with other famous myths like Jason and the Argonauts (the original Super Friends). Culminating in a heart-pounding, five-minute, two-actor version of The Iliad, this fast-paced, free-wheeling play is wild, silly, and a complete blast for all ages. 
Presented: Wednesday, 5/15 - touring to local schools TBD and Saturday 5/18, at 12 pm (possibly also 2 pm). Tickets: $10
