Considered one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century, the tomb complex of China's First Emperor, Shi Huangdi, features thousands of terra cotta warriors that were intended to protect him throughout eternity. Since their discovery, the terra cotta army has been termed the Eighth Wonder of the Ancient World.

music by David O

An imaginary friend (who doesn’t even know he’s imaginary) gets dumped by his ‘real boy.’ It’s the beginning of the school year — the end of make-believe, time to grow up. T-Rex (his real boy was into dinosaurs!) goes on an adventure to find a new friend that takes him from the Amazon to the Moon in this musical delight about the wonder of imagination.

Mythical characters step from the pages of Ovid into a setting that young people will easily recognize (Midas is a billionaire venture capitalist; Apollo’s son has some issues with his dad and is seeing a shrink!). Linked by the transforming power of love, these stories retain their wonder and joy, even as they also deal with loss and suffering, in this lyrical play that CurtainUp described as “a mix of poignancy, uplift and humor.”
