Penelope: A Lesson In Drowning By Baylee Shlichtman Directed by Angela Cruz Martinez Autistic Princess Penelope of Sparta has put off marriage for years by having her suitors challenge her father to a foot race she's rigged to ensure they'll never win. Self-proclaimed scoundrel Odysseus of Ithaca is sure he'll be the one to succeed by making Penelope fall so madly in love with him that she'll reveal the secret to winning. But Penelope won't be won over so easily, not when getting married comes with the complete upheaval of the life she has worked so hard to order. A Greek Myth retelling/romcom about daddy issues, drowning, and occasionally awful disguises. Cast Arielle Shimoni - Penelope Alexis Jewell - Helen Zane Caputo - Odysseus Lucas James Nelson- Icarius
