Mother Road Theatre Company, Albuquerque’s dynamic, new professional theatre company located at The Filling Station on historic pre-1937 Route 66 hits “The Open Road” with the launch of its first season and its debut production, The Odyssey, by David Farr directed by Artistic Director, Julia Thudium.

The Odyssey is a modern look the classical epic by Homer:
Wayward Odysseus washes up on a modern foreign shore. Rather than receiving a hero’s welcome he is locked up in a detention center as an illegal immigrant. Trying to convince the officials of his identity while hiding it from the Trojans he displaced after sacking their sacred city, he recounts his adventures and ten-year long attempt to return to his home in Ithaca – from his encounter with the Cyclops through his journey to the Land of the Dead.
This retelling of Homer’s Odyssey by British playwright David Farr is both classical and topical. The show will feature live original music composed specifically for this production by Ernest Sturdevant. The cast features leaders in the Albuquerque theatre scene: Jean Effron, William Sterchi, Steve Corona, KristĂ­n de la O, Chris Gonzales, Ray Orley, Bridget Kelly, K’Lynn Childress and Vic Browder as Odysseus.
