The Greek Theatre Project (Iris Theatre company) wasn’t overly didactic, thankfully, but rather a program of dance set to music of Dinah Washington and other ’70s R&B artists, not exactly Greek, but according to the program the dancers represented Cassandra, Atalanta, Psyche, Pandora, Eros, Hippomenes and Epimetheus (whew). It was a little tricky unless you were up on your Greek myths. Thank goodness for the dancer who picked up a box and opened it — Pandora for sure. The Broad Street Ministry setting with high ceiling and large open space for audience to be right up with the performers works well. Opa!!

Continues Sept. 10, noon and 5 p.m., $10, Broad Street Ministry, 315 S. Broad St. MORE INFO HERE.
