AVAILABLE FEB 2009
Alpha's Hercules allows the audience to connect in with their inner hero and is great for helping children (and grown ups!) to step up into being more confident and certain they can accomplish their life's purpose.
It is incredibly popular with all ages, and especially useful at getting the boys pumped and ready to step up, take action and be a true hero in their everyday life, as well as the girls to find their inner beauty and the gifts they have to give to the world. You've never seen anything like this, when an entire audience scream "YES" and make the sounds of a true hero, as they anchor in that emotional state for use every day of their lives!
It's important to be who you really are. But what if you're a legendary hero with superhuman strength? Life as a superhero is not as great as it seems. Hercules trains to become the strongest man in the world, but realises that his extra strength makes him special, but also makes him different from other people in ways that he hadn't expected. It's not till he makes his heart as big as his body that he is able to become the hero he really is.

Hercules wraps together all the elements that are loved by children in Alpha shows, and also covers the emphasis on the isolation Hercules feels from his extra strength to help children gain some compassion for that - as well as exploring the trap of 'living small' in life. It's important to be who we really are and Hercules is a great example story of what happens when you become the hero that we're all capable of being.
Specifics:
- Suitable for all audiences, families work well, age 3 upwards to age 16, although due to length and complexity of the plot, you may want to advertise that the show is aimed at age 7 to 16.
- Modular set, to be built
Tech Specs:
- Alpha sets up all sound and lighting off-prompt. We can connect to 3-phase or 2 separate circuited standard outlets, so it's best to have these available off-prompt
- Sound desk with powerful amp and speakers. Unless your venue is large this will be sufficient for most venues. For larger venues, please have a DI Box or a headphone/quarter inch jack to take a channel up to your system. It is Alpha policy to always have our sound system set up in case there is ever a problem with a venue system.
- We will do a substantial sound test with a dB meter to get the levels appropriate for your venue, whether we are using just our equipment or connecting in to your sound system as well. This will be slightly louder than you may be used to with other children's shows but well within safety levels. This is due to the nature of the product, being a rock-concert style, and the fact we are appealing to a higher age range.
- Lighting will be done at all venues using our own equipment and operators. Please have a place ready to set up 2 x lighting trees in an appropriate position with good view of the stage area. This can be on the side or at the rear of the auditorium.
- Our lighting includes: 12 x Par 56's, 2 x 650w Selecon Acclaim Fresnel's, 2 x 250w Moving Head Intelligent Lights, 1 x 1300w Blinder connected to 2 x 6 channel Theatrelight Dimmers controlled by a LSC Minim desk
- All lighting is operated by Alpha crew. We have a complicated lighting plot with very specific and quick cues and Alpha policy is to ALWAYS run our own lights no matter the venue
- Some venues benefit from adding in the standard house rig in addition to the lighting we provide. We can call the show to your lighting operator to add additional lights at your venue.
- Fog Machine used - venue must have smoke detectors isolated
- All other equipment, set and costumes etc set up by Alpha.
