The Secret Medusa - Presented by East Valley Children's Theatre
By J.S. Puller
Winner of the 2025 Aspiring Playwrights Contest
Although prophecy declares that Princess Andromeda will be the most beautiful woman in the world, Andromeda herself is far more interested in exploring. She has a kind heart and a deep love of animals, which Aphrodite rewards by granting Andromeda the power to communicate with them. So when a sea monster plagues her kingdom, Andromeda convinces the creature to carry her away, off to a life of adventure where she meets a young boy named Perseus, searching for a creature known as a Gorgon. Andromeda joins Perseus in his quest, only to learn that there's no such thing as a Gorgon at all. It seems that an evil king made up the monster in order to get rid of Perseus. Now, Andromeda and Perseus must join forces to stop the king. The only problem? Some of Andromeda's secrets may make it a lot harder than they thought it would be!
