First day of rehearsal for ‘black odyssey’

Today was the first day of rehearsal for the  Denver Center Theatre Company’s world premiere of playwright Marcus Gardley’s “black odyssey.” It magically recasts Homer’s Odysseus as a black soldier returning home from the Gulf War. The play runs from Jan. 17 through Feb. 16 in the Space Theatre.
