  • We Players Presents: the Odyssey on the Alma
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE We Players presents: The Odyssey on the Alma www.weplayers.org Contact: Ava Roy, Artistic Director [email protected] 413-441-7138 This fall, We Players presents a limited engagement of The Odyssey while underway aboard a National Historic Landmark sailing vessel. Join We Players and the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park on an afternoon sail through the San Francisco Bay on the 1891 scow schooner Alma, as we spin yarns from Homer’s ancient epic, The Odyssey. The Alma and her Aquatic Park environs evoke a strong connection to The Odyssey and the poem’s central theme of travel, exploration, and homecoming. It is a story of a great and difficult journey, the search for self, the discovery of other worlds and people, and the ultimate journey home. We Players is excited to introduce new ways of experiencing and appreciating the waters of our local landscape, in partnership with the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. Join us this fall, for one of only eleven performances of The Odyssey on Alma. Less than forty seats are available for each performance. Every performance sail will be followed by a post-show discussion over a simple meal aboard historic ferryboat Eureka. The Odyssey on Alma is the first phase of We Players multi-year exploration of Homer’s epic poem; the company is presently developing an island-wide production for Angel Island, which will be presented in spring 2012. About We Players: Recently honored with a Best of the Bay editors’ pick from the San Francisco Bay Guardian, for their unique site-specific performance work, We Players presents site- specific performances that transform public spaces into realms of participatory theatre.

A megkeresésre az alábbi tájékoztatást adom: A hajó 2012. február 26-án süllyedt el. Azt követően egyesületünk honlapján – egy a hajónak szentelt tematikus aloldalon – rendszeresen tettük közzé a hajóra és a mentésére vonatkozó információkat, képeket, videókat (http://hajosnep.hu/#!/lapok/lap/szoke-tisza-karmentes), amelyekből szinte napi ütemezésben nyomon követhetők a február 26-március 18 között történt események.

A powerful storm destroyed the glass and wood greenhouse in 1998, causing the conservatory to temporarily close. In 2003, the conservatory reopened after extensive reconstruction.
