GET YOUR MYTH ON!
A RECESSIONARY TALE…
BASED ON A TRULY TRUE STORY!
Watch, if you dareth, as love and hunger collide most fantastically with the elusive American dream. In hearty games of Dungeons & Dragons, young Bart and Holly escape the dreary reality of hauling money all day in armored transport vehicles. When jobs are lost and the boss starts looking at Holly funny, escape becomes reality, releasing Goldor & Mythyka upon the world! Thusly, lucre shall be heisted! Throngs shall cheer their criminal exploits! And Have Nots will rule the day. Until…
“If you only see one show this month, see this one. TWICE.”
— New York Theatre Review
“Exuberant… taps into the desire so many of us feel for lives more intrepid, more exciting, and certainly better funded than the ones we’re stuck with. “
— The Village Voice
“The performances are top notch and Shana Gold’s direction is impeccable. An ambitious show, with a lot of humor and a lot of heart, Goldor $ Mythyka is unlike anything else playing right now. Anyone with an interest in multimedia storytelling and unconventional theater should give it a look. Many thanks to New Georges for continuing to support such risk taking with the Germ Project!” — nytheatre.com
“An unequivocal triumph for the design team… projections, allusive sound and musical effects sew together Lynn Rosen’s kinetic script into a coherent and moving whole. Beyond the pop culture furor of Goldor $ Mythyka, inside its more enduring, tragic spirit, there is a lesson to be learned about the blinkered aspirations of a commodified heroism. And that is the best reason to catch this catchy play.” — Cultural Capitol
“An exciting audience experience!” — Offoffonline
