Children will get to know the characters and the settings of Gilgamesh through storyboarding, scenography and costume-making, and acting with performing artist Priscilla Smith. Children will also create their own stories on clay tablets using cuneiform script and cylinder seals like the ones in the Morgens West Foundation Galleries of Ancient Near Eastern at the Carlos Museum.
