TUPPER LAKE – A killer boar is rampaging through the ancient Greek island of Calydon. Who will answer the king’s call for a hero?  Why, Theseus, Jason, and Hercules, of course. Along with a poet, a college student, and … a girl?

The Tupper Lake Middle-High School Drama Club presents “Atalanta,” a humorous take on Greek mythology by Thomas J. Hatton, a show for the entire family tonight and Friday in the high school auditorium.

The crew of the play includes Jami Hubbard, Patricia Bankich, Casey Carrow, Emily Sipler, Zach Smith, Kiana Nadeau, and Lowden Pratt.
