Budding Entertainment is delighted to offer our original comedic stage play based on the myths and legends of Hercules and the Greek Gods.
This theatre production offers a wide range of opportunities for young performers to play iconic characters like Zeus, Hades, Athena, Hera, Aphrodite, Poseidon and many more! As well as lots of fun, this production is educational as it provides an introduction to the Greek gods and the tale of the Twelve Labours of Hercules.
REQUIREMENTS
All performers must commit to learning their lines at home. Performers are also asked to make their own toga at home with their parents (e.g. from a bed sheet) for the final performance - except where performers are cast as mythical creatures, in which case costumes will be provided.

CASTING PROCESS
A team of tutors will assign roles based on the performance, teamwork, listening skills and general behaviour demonstrated in Lessons 1 and 2, as well as the audition performance in Lesson 3, where each child will deliver a monologue. Monologue options will be provided in class. Scripts and roles will be emailed to parents/guardians between Lesson 3 and Lesson 4.
All performers receive a role and speaking part. Performers are taught to be supportive and kind - to clap loudly for each other and raise each other up. There are no small roles and no diva behaviour is allowed.
