The Village Theater presents the world premiere of CALYPSO by Jordan Muschler and directed by Emily Newmark.

THE SHOW

A play with song and a bold reimagining of The Odyssey, CALYPSO gives voice to a character long overlooked. Trapped on an island, Calypso's life is turned upside down when Odysseus washes ashore and she experiences companionship for the first time. "Calypso" takes a minor character from a classic story and gives her a full-fledged narrative, spinning it into a tale about first love and the myths we choose to remember.

POST-SHOW DIALOGUES
