Oakton High School Presents 'Orphie And The Book Of Heroes'

From Oakton Theatre Arts: Grab your sword and your kids, because Greek mythology is about to get even more epic! Take the family chariot down to Oakton High School on December 1st and 2nd to see their legendary production of Orphie and the Book of Heroes.

Join the spunky young Orphie on her quest through Ancient Greece as she tries to save a kidnapped Homer and his famed Book of Heroes from Hades. On her journey, Orphie encounters a rollerskating Hermes, an egotistical Heracles, and more classic characters with modern twists from all your favorite myths. You’ll be enchanted by the songs of the (hilariously catty) Sirens and transported into the colorful world of Mount Olympus as Orphie learns that “stories can show you who you truly are” and proves along the way that even “scrawny little orphan girls” can be heroes.

Energetic, funny, and entertaining for all audiences, this family-friendly show is a must-see (even Homer agrees!). Orphie and the Book of Heroes runs December 1st at 7:00 pm and December 2nd at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm in the Oakton High School Robert “Skip” Bromley Auditorium. Buy tickets online at oaktondrama.org or at the door for $10. https://www.facebook.com/events/481608332238552/
