The Odyssey

Written by Local Playwright-Composer Howard Zilber
This fresh take on Homer's iconic 8th century BCE epic poem follows a colorful cast of iconic characters, including Penelope, Telemachus, Helen and Poseidon, as they sing-through Odysseus's twenty year journey back to Ithaca after the Trojan War. Infused with operatic melodies, group numbers, and emotional ballads, this world premiere of The Odyssey , a through-sung musical, is sure to be unlike any adaptation you've ever seen.
