The Peloponnesian Midwest Regional Chorus is tired of placing last in every competition with their ho-hum renditions of heroic myths. Enter Thespis, with a risky idea to cure the Chorus's recitation-related woes: a full theatrical production! With the help of his buddies -- Directus, Settius, Propius, Costumius, and of course, the benevolent Greek Gods -- Thespis takes the chorus's version of The Odyssey from just-OK to jaw-droppingly amazing. The birth of theatre and the plights of the original homeward-bound hero have never been this hilarious!
