Come Witness one of the most poignant homecomings in four thousand years.
Odysseus, a mortal, journeys ten years to find the home and family he left to fight in the Trojan War. Mythical monsters challenge him. Jealous sorceresses fight for him. The gods themselves conspire to keep his ship from home, but for Odysseus no air is sweeter than the winds of Ithaca, no woman more beloved than his faithful Penelope, and no face more precious than that of his son who has grown up in his father’s absence.
Come enjoy the acting, the art, the music, the experience.  You won’t regret it.
