Montana Repertory Theatres' Her-cules: The Twelve Trials & The Story I Told

About this event

@ Written by JM Christiansen Showtime: Friday: 7:00 PM Synopsis: Beck wants to be the world’s next great reporter – if she can just survive her final senior project. When her teacher assigns her to cover the new citywide Herculean Trials, a twelve-event gauntlet designed to celebrate “The Complete Athlete,” Beck throws herself into sports journalism mode, hoping she’ll find her big break. She quickly meets Avery, a mysterious, toughminded competitor who does not want to be anyone’s headline. As this unlikely friendship grows, Beck follows Avery deeper and deeper into the Trials, reporting on Avery’s pursuit of victory to a growing audience. Together, the pair must navigate the complicated mythology of school sports and the very real weight of everyone else’s expectations. A story full of heart, swagger, and mythic spectacle, “HER-cules: The Twelve Trials and the Story I Told” is about the pursuit of excellence: what it costs and how far we’ll go to be the best. School group and homeschool pricing is available. Please contact stephen.seder@umwestern.edu for more information.
