Welcome to the Bernie Sheckles Fun-tastic tour of Athens, Greece where the most important rule is to have fun! That’s what a group of wacky tourists signed up for as Bernie shows them around a sculpture garden filled with statues depicting famous Greek myths. But what they didn’t sign up for is a mischievous god by the name of Hermes, who has come all the way from Mount Olympus to play a little trick on the tourists, bringing each one of the sculptures to life!

This easy to stage play celebrates several well known stories from Greek Mythology, including Persephone and the Seasons, Echo and Narcissus, Arachne the Weaver, Pandora’s Box, King Midas and the Golden Touch, Apollo and Clytie, Perseus and Medusa, and Orpheus and Medusa. Similar to a vignette style, each scene “comes to life” telling their epic tales, while an underlying story of a zany group of tourists making their way through a Greek sculpture garden ties them all together. Perfect for a main stage show, one act competitions, or in collaboration with English Lit teachers, this flexible, large cast play will delight audiences and actors alike.
