Once a beautiful priestess devoted to Athena and a loving sister, Medusa’s life is shattered by an irreversible act of betrayal, transforming her into the very monster society has always feared. As she battles her anger, pain, and isolation, Medusa’s journey unfolds into one of empowerment. Inspired by the timeless Greek myth, Look At Me reimagines the story of Medusa, a character long obscured by misinterpretation. Exploring themes of love, sisterhood, and the courage to embrace help, this fresh retelling offers a powerful new perspective on the woman behind the monster. Recommended for ages 12+.
“This has been an incredible learning experience. Creating and producing our own show was not an easy task, but with the amazing support from classmates, teachers, and the crew from the Thousand Islands Playhouse, we were able to create something we are truly proud of and excited to share with an audience,” said Mikayla Morrison, a third-year Music Theatre – Performance student.
Tickets available from the Thousand Islands Playhouse box office.

Horton faces a double challenge--not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg left in his care.
