I have wanted to direct The Birthday Present for about three years.  I was immiately drawn to the Twilight-Zone feel of the story and the students have embraced this bizarre play.

I selected Myth Adventures for two reasons: 1. My own interest in Greek mythology, and 2. As a means to allow for more student-directors a chance to thrive.  Enjoy.
