KEARNEY — The Kearney Community Theatre is currently performing the show ‘String.’
“After angering Zeus, the Fates, the goddess sisters who spin, measure, and snip the strings of life for every human on Earth, find themselves banished to a modern office building in the mortal world, where they continue their work hidden among the mortals whose destinies they weave into one giant, glorious tapestry,” per the Kearney Community Theatre (KCT) website.
“When eldest sister Atropos accidentally loses her pair of scissors in the building, she meets Mickey, the building’s overnight security guard. Soon love gets the better of her, and she finds herself falling for him, stealing his string to keep him immortal and defying all of the rules she has to follow as a goddess,” the KCT website stated.
“This exception to the rules begins to disrupt the natural order—can the tapestry of the Universe and her sisters stand this flaw? String is an original, uplifting musical about fate, love, and the imperfections that make us human,” per the KCT website.
