An adaptation of Homer’s classic, Quantum’s An Odyssey explores what keeps us coming back to these ancient tales of a war and of a journey home, expanded in our minds as they are to encompass a whole lifetime’s choices.
An Odyssey
By Jay Ball
Directed by Jed Allen Harris
August 13 – September 5, 2021
An Odyssey, adapted by Jay Ball and directed by Jed Allen Harris, will run from August 13 - September 5, 2021. This late-summer outdoor experience will kick off the 30th season in Schenley Park’s Ice Skating Rink, which offers an enormous facsimile of a Greek amphitheater, allowing audiences plenty of room and amazing vistas and sunsets to provide a natural backdrop. The contemporary treatment of Homer’s classic is often filled with humor, but also pointedly explores the definition of heroism in our present by emphasizing female characters mere footnotes in the original, seeing Odysseus’ actions through their eyes. The project reunites director Jed Allen Harris with key members of the imaginative teams behind the 2016 production Collaborators.
On weekdays and Sundays through August 22, tickets are $38, thereafter they are $42. Saturday tickets are $50.
$18 student tickets are available for all weekdays by calling 412.362.1713. Ticketholders will be required to show a valid student ID at check-in.
