About This Activity
9/23-12/20/25 (No 11/29) Tuesdays (6:30 - 8:30 pm) and Saturdays (9:30 am - 12:30 pm) Tech Week Rehearsals: December 15-18, 6:00 - 9:00 pm Performances: December 19 and 20 (Fri and Sat) at 7:00 pm (Actors arrive at 6:00 pm) The YTN Performance Series: everyone is cast and the session culminates in a full production. Students work together for two weeks with YTN super-star educator Amy J. Ferguson to create basic production elements using items from home, YTN stock, and their own creations. Sometimes we share the stage with another show and sometimes it’s all our own. The adventure changes every session keeping us on our toes and presenting endless opportunities for creative problem solving and teamwork. The Odyssey, adapted from Homer’s epic poem, follows Odysseus on his 10-year journey home to Ithaca following the Trojan War. A classic story beloved for centuries is the perfect setting for this Performance Series. And this play has it ALL – Gods, Goddesses, sirens, a sorceress, a cyclops, storms, shipwrecks, and a dog! 10 years in four months? It can be done! Students should be sent to YTN with a water bottle and a snack that doesn’t need to be refrigerated or microwaved.
