Mythic monsters, enchanting sirens, and a flesh eating cyclops. All this epic action packed onto a pickup truck! This adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey, uses selections from Monteverdi’s 1639 opera, Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria (The Return of Ulysses to his Homeland), told with the spirit of a country carnival. Our production features a musical mix of baroque melodies and Dolly Parton tunes.

The Pickup Truck Opera is family friendly fun for all ages. 

A suggested donation of $10 – 25 per person helps us keep gas in the tank. All are welcome at our performances.

This performance is approximately 75 to 90 minutes, and includes all THREE EPISODES of The Odyssey.

• Episode 1: Penelope and the Carnival of Menace
• Episode 2: The Voyage of Ulysses
• Episode 3: Telemaco Fights Back.
