So, you feel as though you've the world on your shoulders?
Imagine how poor Hercules felt.
Well, actually, no need to imagine: All Together Theatre, the family arm of Live Theatre Workshop, will give you the strong-armed demigod (the god Zeus was his pop; his mom, the mortal Alcmene) in musical form.
"Hercules" is written and directed by Christopher Johnson and set to music by Michael Martinez. In this original story, the muscle-bound guy is sent on a tough mission and discovers that physical strength isn't necessarily enough.
It stars Steve Wood as Hercules along with Lucille Petty, Kristi Loera and Eric Anson.
The shows - designed with squirrelly kids in mind - last about an hour. They are 1 p.m. Sundays through Oct. 10 at Live Theatre Workshop, 5317 E. Speedway. Tickets are $5-$8. 327-4242.
