Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, August 14, 2026 —
Jobsite Theater in Tampa-St. Petersburg is preparing to unveil its latest production, a one-woman musical titled “Penelope.” The show, inspired by Homer’s epic poem “The Odyssey,” is scheduled to premiere on August 19th.
The debut of “Penelope” occurs at a time when a major film adaptation of “The Odyssey” has been enjoying widespread success. However, representatives for Jobsite Theater have indicated that the timing of their production’s premiere and the film’s success is a matter of coincidence.
The musical focuses on the character of Penelope, the wife of Odysseus, who famously waited for her husband’s return from the Trojan War for twenty years. The production aims to explore her perspective and experiences during Odysseus’s long absence.
Further details regarding the creative team, cast, and specific themes explored within the musical have not been provided at this time. The production is expected to run for a limited engagement, with ticket information and performance schedules to be released by the theater.
