The Springfield Little Theatre Education Department is excited to present OLYMPUS: THE GREEK ROCK MUSICAL in its 2025-2026 Education Series!

OLYMPUS: THE GREEK ROCK MUSICAL, is a laugh-out-loud rock musical where ancient myths meet modern mischief! The Greek gods, tired of their immortal routines, spark a competition to meddle with mortals and prove who’s the greatest greek god of all time. When a group of modern-day cousins set off on a hike to “Olympus Overlook,” they have no idea they’re about to be tested by ancient deities. With catchy songs, heartfelt moments, and plenty of laughs, Olympus is a mythic adventure about family, connection, and discovering that the real view from the top is the one you share together.

Placement auditions for performers ages 8 through 18 will be held Sunday, October 11th, 2026 at 7:00 PM at The Judith Enyeart Reynolds School of the Performing Arts for Springfield Little Theatre ("The Judy"). At the auditions, participants will be taught a short movement combination and a portion of a song from the show and will be given and asked to perform a short line reading.

Check out the audition workshop on Sunday, October 4th, 2026!
