Please join us for a very special afternoon at the Lyric, where we will see Aimee Doherty as the lead in Penelope, a new musical based on writings from the Odyssey by Homer. Aimee is an extremely talented actress, who some of you might remember as Eliza in the Lyric's outstanding production of My Fair Lady several years ago. She also played the lead role in Hello Dolly and A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. Music and lyrics for Penelope are by Alex Bechtel, an award-winning composer, actor, director, teaching artist and sound designer.
Our tickets are for the Sunday matinee on March 1 and we will be having brunch prior to the performance at Lucie. Discounted tickets are priced at $65 for great seats. Contact Glenda Fishman gstarfish@aol.com to reserve your seat and make payment. Zelle and Venmo only, please. Deadline for payment is February 17.

A generous glass of bourbon, a five-piece band, and ninety minutes is all Penelope needs to tell her side of the story as she embraces her heartache, loneliness, and resolve during the wait for her husband Odysseus to return from a seemingly endless war. Her son has disappeared. Relentless suitors prance before her. Days drone on as she is left to wonder who she is if she is alone. From jazz to folk to indie rock, Penelope dishes the dirt in a captivating cacophony of emotions that redefines what we might know of her through a modern lens.
