Congress Junior Theatre presents The Olympians
Thurs 9 to Sat 11 July at 7.15pm. Click here for tickets.
The Congress Junior Theatre presents the Welsh Premier of The Olympians – A brand new modern pop musical for all the family.
Three Greek goddesses: Athena, Aphrodite, and Artemis, engage in a bet about how to best advance women’s place in the world. They make a wager to determine which is the most powerful tool: a top-notch mind, a loving heart, or a fighting spirit? Each goddess chooses one mortal girl, plucked from obscurity, and sets each of the three girls on a quest to prove their point. When the male gods catch wind of the mortals’ plans, they use their powers to make the quests much more treacherous than the godesses intended. Ultimately, the mortal girls (and the goddesses) realize that it will take all three qualities to make a difference, and they realize that, rather than competing with each other, they must work together to prove that sometimes you can all be heroes.
Featuring an eclectic score of well-loved hits from Miley Cyrus, Kelly Clarkson, Blondie, The Chicks, Pat Benatar, and many more, this tale of Ancient Greece has never felt more contemporary.

Disney Channel’s smash hit movie musical comes to life on stage in Disney’s High School Musical JR. Troy, Gabriella and the students of East High must deal with issues of love, friends and family while balancing their classes and extra curricular activities!
It’s the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Cheerleaders all find their cliques. Basketball team captain and resident jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. The couple cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical. Although many students, including drama club presidents Sharpay and Ryan, resent the threat posed to the “status quo,” Troy and Gabriella’s alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well.
