The Legacy Players, Legacy Theater's advanced student group, will present the classic HERCULES by Craig Sodaro.
Modern language and loads of humor make this version of the Greek tale one that today's audience is sure to enjoy. Hercules' girlfriend, Megara, has been poisoned by a jealous Hera and now he must complete eight tasks for Hera or lose Megara's love forever. The problem is, Hercules is a bit of a wimp and it doesn't look as if he will be performing any great feats of strength much less act particularly clever. Yet, he humbles the cocky Stymphalian birds, gets the best of the shady Arcadian stag, resists the Erymanthian Bore, cleans up King Augeus' act and gives each of the Hydra's heads a new hairdo. Hercules is reunited with Megara since no force can resist true love for very long. Greek Mythology that teach students morals and lessons they can use in their daily lives. By studying ancient literature and presenting these stories on the stage, we hope that our students will find inspiration from the classics.
