Perstephanie Goes Underground by Elizabeth Rapoza
Perstephanie Goes Underground is the comedic retelling of Persephone, the young Greek Goddess of Spring. In this story, Perstephanie takes a job in the Underworld in hopes of gaining more freedom and respect from her mother. However, things don’t turn out as she planned and Perstephanie learns that you can’t always go home. This play teaches lessons about growing up and becoming independent. It is a great introduction to the Greek myths and their view of the changing of the seasons and the afterlife.

Characters:
DEMETER – Earth Mother/Goddess of the Harvest
PERSTEPHANIE – Demeter’s daughter. Maiden of Spring/Flowers
HADES – God of the Underworld and the Afterlife
HECATE – Goddess of the Dark Moon and Transitions
