Play a part in a live Readers’ Theatre! 

For anyone 14 and older!

The Odyssey was part of the oral-telling tradition in ancient Greece. Homer’s stories were first told from memory, only later becoming a part of the written literary canon. Ancient bards would often augment their storytelling with music and props, to help audience members better understand the meaning of complicated plots.

We will be performing one exciting book from Emily Wilson’s brilliant translation of this epic story. 

Rehearsal: Wednesday, March 22, from 5 - 8 pm

Performance: Saturday, March 25, from 1 - 3:30 pm

Register here (please us a non school email address) to take part in the rehearsal AND the performance. You DO NOT need to register again for the performance. 

This project is hosted and led by RWU Secondary Education/English pre-service teachers enrolled in Professor Susan Pasquarelli’s education course and is a collaboration with Rogers Free Library and Bristol BookFest.
