Special to the PRESS<\/p>\n
Audiences sometimes go to the theatre for deep thoughts, tragic pathos, or social commentary, and sometimes fun and laughter. Gods of Comedy by Ken Ludwig is a play that delivers the latter.<\/p>\n
Tuesday and Wednesday, April 18 and 19, 2022, El Paseo Arts brings this comedic confection to the stage at the South Padre Island Convention Center. Its a great way to celebrate spring and kick off the summer with laughter, magic, and adventure according to the foundation.<\/p>\n
The plot of Gods of Comedy takes audiences on a romp through academia, Greek Mythology, and personal empowerment.<\/p>\n
Daphne and Ralph are young classics professors who have just made a discovery thats sure to turn them into academic superstars.<\/p>\n
But something goes disastrously wrong, and Daphne cries out in a panic, Save me, gods of ancient Greece!and the gods actually appear! Except the gods who appear are Dionysus, god of wine, revelry and theatre, and Thalia, the muse of comedy.<\/p>\n
Their assignment from Zeus: give Daphne an adventure and a happy ending. The Ivy League will never be the same as a pair of screwball deities encounters the carnal complexity of college coeds, campus capers, and conspicuous consumption.<\/p>\n
The talented cast includes Danny Dollar in the dual roles of Aristride, a Greek peddler who sells souvenirs to tourists and Aleksi, the janitor who caused some of the mayhem. Andrea Wright is Daphne, the workaholic college, classics professor who discovers romance.<\/p>\n
Ayssa Limon plays Dean Tricket, and Pete Smith is Ralph, the new classics professors who has discovered a long lost play by the Greek tragedian, Euripides and who finds the play is lost again. Alexa Ocean Ray makes her El Paseo Arts debut as Zoe\/Brooklyn, a beautiful movie star.<\/p>\n
Dalton Swink plays the raucous Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, revelry and theatre; and Erika Hughston is his partner Thalia, the muse of comedy. Finally, Ares, the Greed god of war is played by Chuck Hofmeister.<\/p>\n
