“Jason and the Argonauts” LIT SS


Monday, March 19 • 9:30 am (Grades 3-8) & 12 pm (Grades 6-12) • 1 hour • $8


All action and all FUN, this incredible version of the classic hero tale from Greek mythology was the hit of the 2007 International Children’s Theatre Festival, wowed Vermont audiences in 2008, and is a Flynn staff top matinee pick of all time! Blazing their way through countless characters like Hercules, Hera, and a vicious dragon, Scotland’s Visible Fictions Theatre Company explores ancient times with a playfulness that will leave your students begging for more mythology. Hilarious and nail-biting in equal measure, Jason’s most fantastic of journeys reminds us that heroism is not about being fearless, but learning to be brave in the face of fear—a harder, but more rewarding, challenge. Relates to Ancient Greece, mythology, theater. VT Stan.: 1.3, 2.9, 5.3, 5.8, 5.25. Sponsored by Tim and Lynn Vallee
