theatre EVENTS

THEATRE MAGIC
The play Prometheus Bound will be presented on February 10-12 at 7:30 p.m., February 13 at 2 p.m., and February 16-19 at 7:30 p.m. The play tells the story of Prometheus, the heavenly soul brother that stole “fire” from Mt. Olympus and gave it to mortals, as he is spiked to a rock in the middle of nowhere. He laments his fate and his prophetic mind as the chorus of Oceanus serenades him with the psychedelic sounds of the 1960s. While contemplating just what that “fire” is for us today, the Gods rock out this 2500 year old play. Live music, dancing, music videos, and poetry create this Greek tragedy.
Above events are held at the Marshall Performing Arts Center. For ticket information call 726-8561.
