Then, they sit down with Colleen Cherry, star of Jobsite Theater’s Penelope, a new musical that finally gives Odysseus’ famously patient wife her own story. Colleen talks about bringing Penelope’s perspective to the stage, the show’s intimate musical style, its feminist reimagining of Greek mythology, and why audiences don’t need to know The Odyssey to fall in love with it.
Penelope runs at Jobsite Theater through September 6.
