The Olympians is produced by Eastern Middle School (EMS) teachers Jennifer Badillo and Julia Fama, is directed by Fama, and features choreography by Scott Sisbarro of St. Saviour’s School of Dance. All students in grades 6 through 8 were invited to participate, and approximately 90 responded to form the cast and crew.
The Olympians is a fast-paced, heartfelt jukebox comedy that brings Greek mythology to life with a pop soundtrack and a modern sense of humor!
The story follows Sophia, a curious and determined mortal who finds herself pulled into an epic mythological quest alongside Zoe, Lexi, and Xander. With the help (and occasional interference) of gods and goddesses like Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite, Apollo, and even Zeus himself, the group navigates wild trials, cryptic riddles, and plenty of glitter as they search for what it truly means to be a hero. Set to hit songs like “You Make My Dreams Come True,” “One Way or Another,” “Walking On Sunshine,” and “The Climb,” the show is packed with humor, heart, and big ensemble moments.
Producer and director (and 7th-grade English teacher) Julia Fama says, “The Olympians reimagines classic Greek legends with humor and pop music. We’re thrilled for you to see our students perform as these characters.”
Producer (and 7th-grade social studies teacher) Jennifer Badillo says, “This production really showcases our students’ talents, all set to songs we know and love. Rehearsing this show with them has been such a joy. We’re so excited to share this brand-new musical with our community.”
