*Seeks multiple cast members*

*For a staged reading on Tuesday, October 9*



*Why the World Would End Without Pomegranates*


A new play by Morgan E. Elswick

Directed by Tim Tavcar

Synopsis
*Why the World Would End Without Pomegranates* is a modern adaptation of
the Greek Persephone myth, except in this version, Persephone is given much
more autonomy. Instead of focusing on her “kidnapping” and relationship
with Hades, this version closely follows the connection between Persephone
and her mother, Demeter. The setting should be modern-day, with scenes
taking place in the Underworld, on a mountain, and in a town.


Cast


*Persephone*: Goddess of Spring (female; early 20s)

*Demeter*: Goddess of the Harvest (female; 40s-50s)

*Hades*: King of the Underworld; God of the Dead (male; 40s-50s)

*Zeus*: King of the Gods; God of Thunder and Lightning (male; 50s+)

*Hecate*: Goddess of Crossroads and Necromancy (female; 40s+)

*Helios*: The Sun (male; 20s-30s)



There will be 1-2 rehearsals in Cleveland. The reading will be on *Tuesday,
October 9* at 7:00pm at the Creative Space at Waterloo Arts, 397 East 156th
Street, Cleveland.

This is an unpaid reading, but a great chance to be a part of a new play!
