The Odyssey on Angel Island

You will walk for miles, you will 
encounter monsters, nymphs, gods and even mere mortals. There will be feasts, 
libations, storms, and an epic quest. You will journey to the Kingdom of the 
Dead, you will climb Mount Olympus, and – if you are brave, resilient and 
determined, you will reach your native land at last. May the power of Zeus be 
with you and may Athena guide you! 
  
Audiences will experience their own 
Odyssey alongside 12 actors playing over 40 roles, accompanied by live music. This 
interactive performanceunfolds 
across Angel Island State Park as an all‐day journey throughout the hills, 
historic buildings, cement bunkers and natural environs of Angel Island, 
surrounded by stunning views across the San Francisco Bay. Using maps and 
“survival kits” provided by We Players, audiences will engage all their senses 
to explore the story of the ancient hero and its connections with the history 
and environment of Angel Island.
