It’s legendary

This original production is a legend in the making — and it’s at Brooklyn Academy of Music on Jan. 15, 16, and 17.

“Legend Has it” is a new work created by Rebecca Northan, featuring Renée Amber, Bruce Horak, Mark Meer, and Jamie Northan, and is suitable for children 8 and older.

The play takes place in the mystical realm of Jarõ, a fantasy world full of goblins, wizards, swords, and magic. The young hero of the story is literally pulled from the audience and his or her decisions decide the trajectory of the entire show. The setting and characters are evoked primarily through detailed costumes, props, and masks with minimal set design.

Headed by the show’s creator Rebecca Northan, the ensemble of master improvisers ensures that each performance offers a unique take on the young hero’s story. There is a special Q&A with the actors after the performance on Jan. 15.

“Legend Has It,” Jan. 15 at 7 pm, Jan. 16 at 2 pm and 7 pm, and Jan. 17 at 2 pm. Tickets are $18.
