Sing, Muse

Sing Muse--an original a cappella musical--returns to the Vortex with an all-new production where music and dance, comedy and tragedy, poetry and science come together to retell an ancient story of human love touched by divine inspiration. The VORTEX transforms into the Theatre of Dionysus in beautiful downtown Athens!

Few remember Thamyris, the once-legendary poet of Ancient Greece who was the first man to fall in love with another man. But the Muses remember. Thamyris claimed he could make art superior to the Muses' and failed. After defeating him, they sentenced him to an eternity in Hell. However, eternity is a long time, and now The Muses will give Thamyris one last chance to redeem himself.

This production of Sing Muse is in the next phase of its artistic development. Devised in workshops last year, Sing Muse received a workshop production in August 2012. With new songs, dances, and poetry, this new Sing Muse takes inspiration to divine heights.

The ensemble cast features Jonathan Itchon, Chelsea Manasseri, Melissa VogtPatterson, Hayley Armstrong, Laura Ray, Karen Rodriguez, Nikki Zook, Leslie Hollingsworth, Michelle Alexander, and Aisha Melhem.
