Penelope

Penelope waited twenty years for Odysseus to return from the Trojan War. Now she’s ready to share her side of the story…but she’s going to need a drink first. Starring Broadway’s Grace McLean, this contemporary chamber musical brings one of history’s greatest epics to life through a Richard Rodgers Award-winning folk-pop score. Sharp, funny, and unexpectedly moving — this is Penelope’s Odyssey. Penelope premiered at Hudson Valley Shakespeare in 2023, followed by acclaimed productions at Signature Theatre in Washington, DC (2024) and Theatre Horizon in association with Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival (2025). In 2025, the first full production starring McLean played at The Ancram Center in New York. Penelope: Live from Joe’s Pub was recently released by Joy Machine Records and is now streaming on Spotify and all listening platforms.
