How to get there
Join us for a staged reading of a new play, "Seeking Odysseus" by Jack Seamus. In this play, we follow the story of The Odyssey, both through the eyes of the titular Odysseus, and through following the stories of those "left behind" during the ten-year Trojan War, including Odysseus' wife, son, and sister; Helen of Troy, and a displaced Trojan noble. The reading will be followed by a talkback with the playwright and actors. Although a different, written-for-virtual-theatre version of this script was performed by Rainy Day Artistic Collective in 2024, this reading marks the first time that this significantly revised version will be performed for an audience.
