Held in the Black Box Theater, students performed The Odyssey to a full house on May 11, 12, and 13. As the theater is much smaller than that of the Performing Arts Center (PAC), it allowed for a closer intimacy with the actors and the play itself. The crowd was excited and murmured amongst themselves as the play began with the introduction of the directors and producers of the drama.

The production was directed by Mr. Evan Tamayo as well as student Co-Directors Amber Comanescu, Annika Zhang, Ashley Warp, Ariel Alcazar, Jared Daniels, Kevin Wu, and Lucas Lim. The student directors are part of the Advanced Theater Arts class, and, as part of the directing program, improving their craft of acting and allowing themselves to be funny, vulnerable, bold, and passionate in their performances,” said Mr. Tamayo.
