All That Glitters: A New Musical by the Youth of Fulton County at Trail Station Park
The 5th Annual Trust Your Gut Summer Academy proudly presents All That Glitters, a new, original musical written, composed, designed, and performed by the Youth of Fulton County! King Midas has it all. He rules the kingdom of Phrygia with his wife, Queen Marygold, and their loving daughter, Princess Cassandra. But, when the Queen suddenly passes away, Midas is driven to greed, jealously keeping his gold for himself. When Dionysus, the god of wine, revelry, and (of course) theatre, offers to grant him a wish on the eve of his daughter's 18th birthday, Midas is given the ''golden touch''...but will he use it wisely? Or will this gift become a curse? Throughout the TYGP Summer Academy, our Rising Stars have been trained in acting, singing, dance, voice and speech, vocal technique and performance, design, writing, music composition, and more. Our dedicated team of professional, working performing artists has guided them through the process of discovering their inner artist, working together, having fun, and, most importantly of all, trusting their gut! We are beyond pleased to present All That Glitters as the next in a growing line of unique and original musicals created, produced, and performed by the incredibly talented Youth of Fulton County! This is an outdoor show. Please bring your own blankets or chairs. You will receive an email should this event be moved to another venue due to rain or inclement weather. Small Concessions and Soft Drinks will be available for purchase at each performance.
