Theatre Horizon presents the regional premiere of the one-woman musical Penelope, starring Rachel Camp in the titular role. The production explores Penelope's long wait for her husband Odysseus, blending humor and heart through a folk-inflected pop score by Alex Bechtel. Directed by Eva Steinmetz, the show promises an intimate yet powerful narrative enriched by a live band. Penelope grapples with themes of faith, loneliness, and self-discovery, bringing a modern twist to a classic tale.
