UNDERNEATH EGYPT: A Musical That Will Make You Want Your Mummy
Brooklyn, New York (2016)
In Partnership with P.S. 264 Bay Ridge
Synopsis:
Beneath the grounds of Alexandria, Egypt lies one of the Seven Wonders of the World: The Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa. The halls of this three-leveled historical site are full of tombs, statues, and mysterious artifacts. When a group of students travels from America to join in with a group of Egyptian students and tour the Catacombs, they soon discover the history and magic within the caves. When the students realize that they have become lost, they search for a way out. Despite all the treasures that may be found, the most important thing is for everyone to get back home…or is it?
