An Odyssey
August 26-September 4
A community-created theatrical spectacular!
Co-production with The Cherry Arts. Directed by Samuel Buggeln.
An epic new piece of theatre created by our town, for our town. An Odyssey will celebrate the skills and talents of Ithaca’s diverse communities, working alongside professional theatre artists, to create a fresh and unexpected adaptation of Homer’s unforgettable tale. With music, magic, and adventure for all, it will reflect the myriad journeys we have all been taking, and must continue to take, during this extraordinary time in our lives.

This project is made possible, in part, with funding from The Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County and the Community Foundation of Tompkins County.
