Playhouse in the Park presents
The First Hero: A Greek Myth

By JESSICA S. COHEN
Directed by ARIANA MOSES

When we can’t choose what happens to us, who do we decide to be? Perseus, the demigod son of Zeus and the imprisoned Princess Danaë, grows up in exile under the shadow of a scheming king. To protect his mother, he accepts an impossible quest — to find and bring back the head of the monstrous Medusa. What follows is a journey of courage, cunning and love that takes Perseus from the edge of the world and back home again. In this world premiere adaptation of the first Greek hero myth, two storytellers conjure the tale that has enchanted children and adults for over 3,000 years.

Recommended for First Grade and up.
