HEPHAESTUS Comes To Music Theatre Of Madison; Begins Today

The Music Theatre of Madison will present the world premiere workshop of HEPHAESTUS on June 16 and June 17.

HEPHAESTUS tells the story of the oft-forgotten outcast of Greek myths. He is an artist, blacksmith, and hopeless romantic, desperate for the love of Aphrodite, yet facing epic hurdles to win her affections. Brutally cast out by his mother, Hera, he embarks on a quest for love, identity, and art, surrounded by humorous and modern versions of Greek mythological characters.

This is the first full workshop the new musical by Madison native Nathan Fosbinder. At this staged workshop performance, audiences will see the musical in its early stages, view costume and set renderings, explore vision boards, hear early demos, and offer their feedback, which will feed into the creation of the final product.
