  3. Cracking Zeus


Have you ever considered what crack cocaine might do to the powers of a Greek god? And what would happen if Zeus’ newest offspring was the son of a pastor? This outrageous provocation takes center stage in Christopher T. Hampton’s ingenious contemporary epic.

Hera, a goddess with a grudge to settle, has found her husband Zeus’ newest illegitimate child. On the outside, Baniaha is a pillar of his community: he helps his mother run her church while mentoring orphaned youth. On the inside, he is lost: the mystery of his paternity leaves him yearning for answers. When Hera arrives to exact her revenge with the help of Rufus, a homeless crack addict she thinks she can exploit, relationships are strained and faith is put to the test. This wildly inventive dark comedy is a present-day myth about religion, dependency, and redemption. By Christopher T. Hampton. Directed by Reginald L. Douglas (Artistic Director, Mosaic Theater Company). Cast features Christina Daniels, Charles Franklin IV, DeJeanette Horne, Dupre Isaiah, Destiny Jennings, Lolita Marie, Nicole Ruthmarie, Jacobie Thornton
