The Oracle Cassandra – Written by Amanda Beveridge, Directed by James Peter Sotis

Synopsis: Cassandra, blessed with the power of prophecy, feels a duty to help guide those who may otherwise be woefully wooed by the gods of ancient Greece, or one god in particular as it seems, and he's not very pleased. Apollo confronts Cassandra about her meddling in his personal relationships, but will he be able to confront his own personal issues before it's too late? Only those with the power of prophecy can tell, the rest will just have to tune in to see.

Marpessa - Lorraine Kanyike
Apollo - Jay Connolly
