Members of the Brockway Bizon traveling theater company performed “Legends of Asgard” at the Michael Kusalaba library on July 16.
The story followed Thor, the God of Thunder, as he battled his brother Loki over the future of city of Asgard. Loki attempted to bring about Ragnarok, the end of the city, and Thor battled to stop him.
Playing Thor was actor Brady Brockway, and Loki was played by Daniel Gordiejew.
“I grew up hearing this story, so that was a big part of the motivation behind putting on the performance,” Brockway said.
He said that the goal of the performances were to be entertaining, while also conveying a lesson.
“It’s always fun, but we like to make sure there is always a message to the story,” Brockway said.
The group is composed of students ranging from their sophomore year in high school to their second year of college.
Gordiejew said that the group met about five years ago at a theater camp and have been performing together ever since.
“We get together every year to write the story,” Brockway said. “Then we cast everyone and start practicing before the performances.”
The group will be performing at a number of other libraries in Mahoning County. For more information on the group and their upcoming performances, find them on Instagram at Brockway Bizon traveling theater.
