Medusa's Tale
Countless would-be-heroes have tried to slay Medusa, the famous monster with snakes for hair, but each and every one has turned to stone, simply by meeting her gaze. The young Perseus is different, though. The Goddess Athena has given him a sword and shield and told him to beware of Medusa's tricks. But Perseus finds himself suddenly unprepared when Medusa's weapon of choice is a bedtime story—the story of her life. Please be advised that the show contains themes of sexual assault.

The hero of the story has something in him of both Robin Hood and Francois Villon (a French lyric poet who was banished from Paris in 1463), and Kabalevsky has written music admirably fitting this character.
The Philosophers Stone by Thomas Duffy. This…
