Check out his upcoming show! “The Odyssey: A Rock Musical”
Freddy Carnes Productions presents a new Rock Musical based on Homer’s Epic Poem. The story of Odysseus’ journey from the Trojan War to his wife Penelope and son Telemachus is told through 15 new songs with a live Rock Band. A cast of eleven stays true to Homer’s characters while giving the story a modern score. The love story of Odysseus and Penelope is as timeless as Romeo and Juliet or Scarlett and Rhett.
The show starts Friday Aug. 13 at 8:00pm at the Dougherty Arts Center 1110 Barton Springs Rd. There will even be a party in the lobby after the show!
Showing Aug. 13 – Sept. 4
