Parents of young aspiring thespians know that a really good children’s play – especially one written to be performed by young actors – is rare.  Most of the plays written for children to perform are aimed at much younger audiences than the actors performing them, with language and stories that hit below their reading level.  That is why Traveling Players is once again commissioning award-winning local playwright, Judith Walsh White to pen a new twist on a Greek myth – the heroic tale of Heracles!  The play will premiere this summer at the Traveling Players Studio in Tysons Corner Center starring local kids. 

​​​​​​​Traveling Players Ensemble performs Euripides' ancient revenge tragedy Hecuba, followed by a discussion led by American University Professor Barbara Wien, on Saturday March 12 at the Traveling Players Studio in Tysons Corner Center.
