The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County hosted 26,000 fifth grade students from local schools for this year's presentation of ROCK ODYSSEY presented by Wells Fargo, the original rock ‘n roll musical based on Homer's Odyssey. ROCK ODYSSEY, the flagship program in the Center's 'Learning Through the Arts' education initiative, was created in collaboration with Miami-Dade County Public Schools.

The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County proudly announces the premiere of ROCK ODYSSEY, a spectacular theatrical production that will be seen by every fifth-grader in the Miami-Dade County Public School System. In total, more than 26,000 fifth graders will participate in the pilot program, which was created by the Adrienne Arsht Center in conjunction with Miami-Dade County Public Schools. The show will afford young people the opportunity to experience live theater in Miami's premier performing arts center, at no cost to them or their schools. ROCK ODYSSEY will run from April 27 - May 8, 2010 in the John S. and James L. Knight Concert Hall. This arts education program is made possible with the generous support of Miami-Dade County and additional funding from Funding Arts Network.
