No Map Home
An epic journey. No instructions included.
The Summer 2026 Conservatory is a five-week intensive performance program inspired by the themes and journey of Homer’s The Odyssey, reimagined through a bold, contemporary lens. No Map Home invites young artists to explore what it means to lead, to fail, to change, and to find their way forward when the path is anything but clear.
This ensemble-driven program focuses on collaboration, creative risk, and process over perfection. Through acting, movement, music, and devised theater, participants will build an original performance shaped by their own voices, strengths, and imaginations. This is not a traditional retelling of a classic story, but a modern theatrical exploration rooted in myth, metaphor, and lived experience.
Designed for high school students ready to deepen their training, the conservatory offers daily, conservatory style instruction across multiple disciplines while encouraging students to take ownership of the work they create together.
The program culminates in a fully staged, original presentation for families and invited guests, showcasing physical storytelling, ensemble work, and epic themes brought to life for today’s world.
No prior knowledge of The Odyssey is required; however, curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to take creative risks are essential.
Auditions will be held on Friday, May 15th, 2026 by appointment.
