Traveling Players believes teens and pre-teens are more capable than they are often given credit for. We're committed to making sure all of our students feel challenged and inspired by the work they perform. For our Mythology Ensemble, we commission new plays on ancient tales – providing young actors with quality scripts worthy of their imaginations. The production will include an original score composed by Nathan Sherwood Liang.
We pride ourselves on our robust support systems (including a small student:faculty ratio), ensuring a safe experience where campers can grow and thrive. We welcome and integrate each new camper into our community, and our culture of kindness and courage shines through every aspect of our ensemble. It’s no surprise that 70% of our campers come back for one or more years.
Pegasus and Bellerophon is the 12th play Traveling Players has commissioned from playwright in residence Judith Walsh White for our Mythology Ensemble. If it goes on to be published, as previous Mythology Ensemble plays have, our Mythology Ensemble 2026 actors will be listed as the original cast!
The young hero Bellerophon is exiled from his home, and while in an unfamiliar kingdom, he is set with an impossible task. He must slay the chimera – a fearsome fire-breathing beast that has a lion's head and a snake for a tail. Luckily, the goddess Athena has granted him a potential boon, the winged horse Pegasus. Bellerophon knows that if he can learn to ride Pegasus, his victory against the hydra will be assured – but nature is rarely so easy to tame.
