Josh is as brave as a lion, Harriet is as wise as an owl, and Miranda is always as good as gold – or so they think, until an adventure in the Underworld challenges their surface notions and impels the trio to a deeper understanding of courage, wisdom, and goodness. In a world where dragons and gnomes are real, can three high-school kids break a spell of ignorance and rescue Sophia, the Underworld’s rightful queen?

Greenbelt Winter Youth Musical
THE SCHOOL FOR SUPER-HEROES PRESENTS ORLANDO FURIOSO THE MUSICAL
Written and Directed by Chris Cherry
at the Greenbelt Community Center

Location: Greenbelt Community Center, 15 Crescent Road, Greenbelt MD 20770. Phone: 301-397-2208.

The School For Super-Heroes Presents Orlando Furioso, The Musical is about a group of students with offbeat, not-so-superpowers who don’t feel they fit in at a high school for super-powered teenagers. Drawing on their combined abilities, they produce the most ambitious high school musical ever, based on a 16th-century fantasy epic that puts the King Arthur legends to shame. The result surprises them all and just maybe saves the world! Who could resist a musical that combines super-powers with knights, wizards, and warrior damsels?
