The One Act Class is going to STATE! Join us for our public performance of Fall of Orpheus, an original play written and created by the students in the One Act class.
Fall of Orpheus is a retelling of the classical greek myth about Orpheus and Eurydice. Orpheus and Eurydice are a newly married couple when Eurydice is killed and sent to the Underworld. Orpheus refuses to accept his wife is dead, so he charges into the Underworld to save her. Meanwhile Eurydice refuses to stay dead and be away from her husband, so she tries to escape the Underworld. Will they find each other? Will Hades let them leave the Underworld? Join us for a timeless tale about love and trust.
Over the past three years the students at Homestead High School have learned about physical theatre and felt the logical next step in the process was to create a One Act piece with their director, utilizing the dance, acting, and aerial dance techniques they have been taught over their high school careers. The Fall of Orpheus combines all the elements of dance, physicality, and acting together to create a beautifully visual piece. Even though the myth is set in ancient Greece, the version we wrote gives a timeless presentation for our younger audiences and gives background information on ancient Greek figures.
Saturday November 12th at 7pm in the James Barr PAC at Homestead High School.
It’s free and we have a reception after the show.
