On May 16 and 17, Viewpoint’s young performers brought ancient mythology to life with a witty and heartwarming staging of Game of Myths in the Carlson Family Theater (CFT).

Written by Jennifer Simmons, the play followed a lighthearted competition among the Greek gods as Zeus announced that the coveted Cloud Throne would be awarded to the most helpful, compassionate, and caring deity. What followed was a series of reimagined myths, each spotlighting good deeds and acts of kindness.

Audiences were treated to familiar tales told with a cheerful twist: Aphrodite played matchmaker for Pygmalion, Ariadne helped Theseus defeat the Minotaur, and Hades made surprising compromises with Persephone. Athena and Hermes empowered Perseus in his battle with Medusa, while the Muses brought clarity and compassion to the story of Paris and Helen. Even the Fates showed a rare moment of grace toward the loyal Moira. In the end, the gods learned that old habits die hard—but goodness leaves a lasting impact.

“This talented ensemble embraced the timeless lessons of Greek mythology—empathy, courage, and self-confidence—and brought them to life with humor and heart,” said Director and Middle and Upper School Theatre Teacher Lisa Roskowinski. “I’m incredibly proud of their growth, dedication, and creativity throughout the process.”

We invite you to see more of our talented student artists in action at Arts Fest next Saturday, May 31, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on campus.
