Traveling Players opens summer of student theater at Tysons Corner Center

The Traveling Players Ensemble is ready to bring the drama — and comedy — to Tysons Corner Center this summer.

The nonprofit theater company for students kicked off its summer season today (Friday) with the world premiere of “Hercules!,” a new play commissioned from D.C. playwright, poet, and teacher Judith Walsh White.

Retelling the Greek myth of the 12 Labors of Hercules in just 35 minutes, the play was staged at the Traveling Players’ studio next to the former Lord and Taylor store in the mall. A second performance is scheduled for 11 a.m. on July 29, with tickets costing $15.
