On April 12 and 14, 2018, the Muskingum University Theatre Department will present the original devised theatre performance Mythos: An Evening of Stories and Legends Created by Muskingum University Theatre Students.

The creation and presentation of the performance is being guided by Richard Newman, Co-Director of The Hinterlands, a Detroit, Michigan-based company whose performances and workshops are presented worldwide.  The Hinterlands, founded in 2009, is a physical theatre ensemble using unique methods to create highly physical, visual, and visceral theatrical performances.

Action! An Exhibition of LeRoy Neiman’s Champions, currently displayed on Muskingum’s campus, is among the sources of creative inspiration which students are drawing upon to develop their performance.

Theatre alumnus Chris Tucci ’00 helped facilitate this unique learning opportunity for Muskingum students.

Performance times are Thursday, April 12, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. and Saturday, April 14, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.  All performances are free and open to the public.  They will be presented in the Sandra Wolfe Thompson Theatre in Muskingum University’s Caldwell Hall, 163 Stormont Street, New Concord, OH 43762.
