It’s hard to believe that 2 women production’s second core season is over. We went out in a blaze of tragic glory with the dragon Fafnir breathing fire on all who threatened his accursed golden hoard; with the flames from Sigurd and Brunhilde’s funeral pyre reaching high into the sky and then burning down to ashes!

But … And … the season is not truly finished!!!

We are in the final stages of creating an epic performance in partnership with Ottawa Storytellers. On June 16, 18 tellers will be at the Fourth Stage of the National Arts Centre to tell Homer’s great adventure, The Odyssey, in its fullness over 12 hours! (Lots of breaks for food and talk)  Listeners will be coming from across Canada for this remarkable performance. Immersing yourself in one great story for a whole day is a rich, and in this day and age, an unusual experience. Past involvement with such endeavors indicates that even the skeptical find that once the story starts to roll they don’t want to miss a word!  We invite you to come and find out for yourself.

If you can’t be with us for the event and/or would like to contribute to its success, you might consider having a look at the online fundraising campaign http://www.indiegogo.com/ottawastorytellers This production is a huge undertaking and we can’t possibly cover basic expenses without help from the listening public in addition to ticket sales. There are some neat gifts offered to people who contribute and there is a very silly video on the site to make you chuckle even if you don’t want to contribute!  Every dollar helps us get the “nimble witted and much enduring Odysseus home!”
