The 30 Minute Epic: Odysseus Sees the Round World in a Half-Hour Flat

Join expert storyteller Jon Royal from Nashville Children’s Theatre for a zany, half hour exploration of one of the largest myths ever! With wacky audience participation, Jon will travel through the entire Odyssey at break-neck speed creating the most abbreviated and entertaining epic you’ve ever seen! This trip took Odysseus twenty years? Please! In this century we can knock it out in no time!

Visitors can experience The Dyer Road Show and the solar telescope.  The solar telescope will be available in the Turner Courtyard, if the sun is available, and an inflatable planetarium will be on view in the Rechter Room with presentations on the constellations and the myths behind them.
