TP-22 MYTHS AND SUCH, PACKAGE 2
This package of performace skits has been produced, performed, and tested. The performances were a resounding success! If you want to perform the skits in your community, the author (and teacher-director), Lee Karvonen, is happy to stay in touch with you by e-mail and help with any questions or concerns you might have.
The skits included in this package intend to retell well-known Greek myths in a humorous and inventive way. Some skits feature the original characters, while others feature modern storytellers trying to relate the myths to modern audiences. When they are mixed and matched, the fun begins!
This performance package is an ideal way to conclude a myth unit in your classroom - and to have fun doing that - OR to simply perform as a production for some special event.
This package, Package 2, is a 30-35 minute performance piece. It stands alone, but can be combined with MYTHS AND SUCH, Package 1, to create an hour's performance, if needed.
A cast of 18 is needed to perform Package 2, but some actors can take on two or three roles, if needed.

SKIT DESCRIPTIONS
1. MYTH VS. FAIRY TALE - In this short scene, one friend is trying to tell the other friend a myth. The other friend disputes the way the story is started, arguing that "once upon a time" is exclusive to fairy tales. From there, the argument progresses.
ATLAS AND HERCULES - In this version of the story (when Hercules outsmarts Atlas who has temporarily given him the earth to support), Atlas, this time, proves to be the clever one.
MIDAS AND THE GOLDEN TOUCH - In this version of the story (when Midas acquires and then loses the golden touch and then gets donkey's ears for stating that Pan's music is superior to Apollo's), the story line is the same, but it is all in dialogue and more amusing.
SIEGE OF TROY - In this version of the story when Odysseus and the Greeks outwit the Trojans by leaving them a giant wooden horse), three reporters interview key people - Priam, King of Troy, and Odysseus, King of Ithaca, - and set the scene for the climax on the shore with the Trojan horse.
ZEUS AND HERA - In this version of the story of the many loves of Zeus, Hera finally confronts Zeus with photos and challenges him to explain them and ends by chasing him offstage.
