Get ready for an unexpected hero! Live from Mount Olympus: Atalanta Trailer

Season Three of Live from Mount Olympus begins! A tiny newborn is abandoned in the forest of Arcadia. Raised by bears, the baby grows up fierce and strong, with the wild and beautiful heart of the forest beating inside her. Yet when she ventures into the human world, everyone she meets thinks they’re doing her a favor by telling her how to dress and act and be, and she must fight to decide for herself who she is and where she belongs. Combining the artistry of foremost contemporary theater-makers with the timeless stories of Greek myth and the imaginative power of audio, Live from Mount Olympus is an adventure for tweens and their grownups.
