Knoxville Children’s Theatre: Beowulf: The First Avenger
Oct 25 – Nov 10 (Thu-Sun)
109 E. Churchwell Avenue, Knoxville, TN 37917

Beowulf: The First Avenger is an original adaptation of one of the oldest and most important epic poems of Old English literature. This exciting rendition tells the tale of the great Geat warrior Beowulf who saves the Kingdom of the Danes from not only the greedy ravages of the monster Grendel but also his equally fierce and vengeful mother. After his victories, Beowulf returns to his homeland to become King of his people where he will face monsters of his very own. Staged by KCT Artistic Director, Dennis E. Perkins, the epic scope of this tale about heroics, ethics, and the goodness of Kings will come to life through a visually dramatic presentation in the tradition of Total Theatre. The play is performed by 14 talented young actors and designed by 10 young designers from ages 11 to 16.

The play will be performed Thursdays and Fridays at 7PM, Saturdays at 1 PM and Sundays at 3 PM. KCT will provide Penny4Arts tickets to all of the performances. With one adult purchase, up to three students will be admitted for a penny. Please purchase the adult ticket online and use the coupon code Penny4Beowulf for Penny4Arts tickets.
