The Happenstance quintet delves into Ancient Greek Mythology with guest artist Craig Jaster generating a live musical score. In a pared-down 1940's aesthetic a chorus of workers assembles lightning bolts and mines the Underworld. Like Sisyphus they must endlessly repeat their tasks. With an ample smattering of amusement, the performers invoke the Muses, offer Sacrifice, suffer Hubris, consult Oracles, and meet Fate as they portray an array of mortals and Gods whose flaws reflect their own.

"...Happenstance has developed an often-frenetic house style, with a fine sense of the ironic and hilarious; but they also find time to remind us of compelling contemporary issues; their rendition of the myth of Phaeton (look it up) begins like just another story, but then veers directly into the dangers of our own times. Myths endure for a reason, and it is fitting that the show closes with this suddenly relevant tale of mankind's hubris."
