Fourth- and fifth-grade students at Hawaii Preparatory Academy presented the musical production “Theseus and the Minotaur” on Oct. 9 at the Gates Performing Arts Center on the school’s Upper Campus.

The production told the story of young Prince Theseus, son of Poseidon, who must save Athens from the Cretan Minotaur, which has been devouring Athenians. This might be his last chance to prove himself; Hercules already cleared out most of the “really good monsters.”

With the help of the clever Ariadne, daughter of evil King Minos, Theseus enters the labyrinth.

This was the first of a series of musical productions by HPA’s Lower School students.

The second- and third-grade classes will present the next show Friday, Nov. 20.
