The Mercer Island High School Drama Department will delve into the classic adventure “The Odyssey” for eight in-person performances this month at the school.

Written and adapted from Homer’s Greek myth by Mary Zimmerman, it tells the tale of life following the Trojan War and Odysseus’ epic journey home to his wife Penelope with a sorceress, monsters, gods and storms standing in his way to make it home alive.

Performances will be at 7 p.m. Nov. 11-13 and 18-20 and 2 p.m. Nov. 13 and 20. For tickets, visit https://wa-mercerisland-lite.intouchreceipting.com/mihsdrama.

Milo Mechem-Miller (Cast Scylla) and Lucas Vorkoper (Cast Charybdis) will trade off in the role of Odysseus; and Kate Petersen (Cast Scylla) and Sophia Dondisch (Cast Charydbis) will each perform as Athena in their respective casts.

Other performers are: Molly Atkinson, Amelie Van Dooren, Christopher Burnside, Artemis Wiegand, Carter Gwertzman, Kylie Drake, Caroline Thompson, Kyra McPherson, Sadie Jensen, Geoffrey Goffman, MirMattia Ottaviani, Abby Weiss, Brielle Gradek, Kate Gormley, Madi Chew, Annabel Rimmer, Alec Martin, Zoya Firasta, Giovee Roque, Izzy Ferrari, Yuna Lin and Greg Chvnany.

The Washington State Department of Health’s guidance has changed, so performing arts will be following its guidelines for the safety of the show. Visit: https://www.doh.wa.gov/
