A cast of local students in grades 4-8 present Myth-Understood at Tibbits Opera House.

When a pair of students begin working on a report on Greek mythology, the gods and goddesses themselves decide this is their chance to set the record straight! Whisked away to Mount Olympus itself, the children hear the stories right from Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Athena and more. In re-telling these classic tales, they share the myths that we’ve all heard, but each with its own unique twist. Can the gods and goddesses be trusted? And what grade will our students get on their report? Audiences are invited to come along for the ride, because whether they’re the truth or not, these stories will definitely be entertaining!

Marcus Gradley's The House That Will Not Stand, blends poetic language with sharp, unexpected humour to tell the story of a Creole family facing a world in transition. This hauntingly beautiful play that captures the power, the magic, the tragedy of life in 1836 New Orleans. Here, Beatrice Albans, a widow navigating grief, memory, and the volatile terrain of change. Her three daughters live under her roof- but not always under her control. It is the story of resilient, resourceful, catty, joyful, spiritual women. Outside the house, the United States is tightening its grip on Louisiana, bringing new laws and new dangers for free Black families. Inside the house magic blends with harsh reality in this dynamic and relevant story.It's a story about legacy- how it's passed down, how it's resisted, and how is rewritten. About the ways women learn to hold power, to shape their own futures, and to speak aloud what was once only whispered.
