DROPS & DRAMA 2010 - VALHALLA TO RAGNAROK: THE MYTHS & LANDS OF THE NORDIC GODS -- Theatre du Mississippi

Performed at the Masonic Lodge, Winona, MN
Director: Daryl Lanz
Writer: Daniel Munson
Cast: Judy Schmidt, Catherine Schmidt

100 year old, hand-painted drops, once used in Masonic rituals, are prominently displayed in this 30 minute production.  The mythology of the Scandinavians is used as a source for a thin plot to feature the drops.

Perhaps a little too much information is provided in this short script.  It certainly provides a good amount of Norse mythology lesson, but not knowing much, it seems a bit of an overload.  The presentation of the material was okay, though a little dry.

Still, it seemed as effective a means as any to showcase these marvelous drops.
