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.

Join us for a live readers’ theater of one book of the Odyssey, performed by local teens. 

This project is hosted and led by RWU Secondary Education/English pre-service teachers enrolled in Professor Susan Pasquarelli’s education course.
