Directed by Lisa Sturz

This production was created in 1986 through the UCLA theatre department with
a cast of 60 puppets, 17 puppeteers, and a five piece orchestra. It is the story
of Psyche (soul), a young girl who grows through many struggles to find wholeness.
It comes from a time in ancient Greece when the cultural emphasis was moving
towards humanism. Psyche is the first mortal to see a God face to face
and survive. She marries EROS, the God of love and gives birth to JOY.
