ANON(YMOUS) by Naomi Iizuka to Open Next Week at Oddfellows Playhouse Youth Theater
ANON(ymous) by Naomi Iizuka will be performed at Oddfellows Playhouse Youth Theater, 128 Washington St. by the Teen Company opening on May 11th and closing on May 20th.

ANON(ymous) tells the story of Anon, a refugee in America searching for his mother. They were separated during their journey to America, Anon adopted by a wealthy American couple and his mother finding employment in a sweat shop. Anon's journey mirrors Odysseus's in the Odyssey. Renowned, contemporary playwright, Naomi Iizuka finds new interpretations of the Cyclops and the Sirens to create a stunning, evocative - and provocative new myth for today.
