Director: Courtney O’Connor
Music Director: Dan Rodriguez
Featuring Aimee Doherty as Penelope

It’s time for her side of the story. The story you thought you knew, told by the woman who lived it.

A generous glass of bourbon, a five-piece band, and ninety minutes is all Penelope needs to tell her side of the story as she embraces her heartache, loneliness, and resolve during the wait for her husband Odysseus to return from a seemingly endless war. Her son has disappeared. Relentless suitors prance before her. Days drone on as she is left to wonder who she is if she is alone. From jazz to folk to indie rock, Penelope dishes the dirt in a captivating cacophony of emotions that redefines what we might know of her through a modern lens.
