Theatermakers: Myths and Legends |

October 13 — December 8

Over 8 action-packed sessions, students will band together as a creative ensemble to dream up and perform their very own immersive, mythical adventure! Drawing inspiration from myths around the world and diving deep into timeless archetypes, they’ll unravel the secrets of the hero’s journey—and then craft a legendary tale of their own.

From wild improvisations to hands-on devised theatre techniques, students will turn brainstorms into bold performances, scene by epic scene. Through rehearsing and workshopping this original piece, students will develop their artistic voices and learn how to collaborate like a true ensemble.

The grand finale? Friends and family are invited to step into the magic and join us for a one-of-a-kind, site-specific theatrical quest across the enchanting Pasadena Playhouse campus. Grab your imagination—we’re going on an adventure!
