MYTHOS RISING – WRITING THE WORLD ANEW: A TWO-YEAR COUNTRY-WIDE THEATRE ARTS PROJECT BEGINNING IN BROOKLINE!

Join us at the Senior Center on three Wednesdays this Summer: June 4, July 9, and August 6, from 1:00 pm-2:30 pm, for workshops where we will ask many of life’s big questions:

Who am I?

Why am I here?

Where did I come from

Where do I go when I die?

The purpose of the workshops is to discover themes and storylines for an as-yet- to-be written Epic Musical that explores how humanity is evolving, and how the old paradigm appears to be shifting into something different.

The word mythos refers to the broad cultural or collective narrative framework that represents the worldview, values, and beliefs of a culture or society. Can we come together to begin writing a new story based on the best of the myths and legends from the past while creating an inspiring vision of the future? Bring a sense of humor! In the workshop setting we will discuss, write and perhaps even act out our views of what life is and what it could be. This type of theatre work is called, “derived theatre.” Mythos Rising is a two-year project which lifts off in Brookline before heading to a couple of other states in the Fall. Production is slated for 2028. Elle Morgan, summer resident of Brookline, will be leading the three sessions. She is a Public Speaking Instructor at Penn State University as well as a playwright, Theatre director and actor.
