Description: It’s the 1980s and Sonny is a struggling artist searching for inspiration when a beautiful Greek muse descends from Mount Olympus and encourages him to build the world’s greatest creation…a Roller Disco! With a sprinkle of glitter, a dash of neon, and some legendary pop tunes this musical comedy is a perfect celebration of Summer! Rated PG

CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS: Please note, we are devoted to diverse casting both in ethnicity and gender expression.

Kira (Clio): (Female/Non-Binary) Muse of history. Youngest daughter of Zeus and the leader of the Muses. Adventurous, honest, and determined.
