Odyssey Theatre

Our Vision

Odyssey Theatre is Ottawa's premier professional summer theatre. We are renowned for our unique productions that weave language with masked performance, Commedia dell’Arte, puppetry, music and culturally diverse forms of dance-theatre. Our award-winning performances tell powerful stories that touch hearts and minds, spark creativity and reflect on our world. Our productions include original works and contemporary adaptations of social and political satires, myth and folk tales that celebrate the human spirit.

Each summer we attract thousands of spectators to the banks of the Rideau River in Ottawa's heritage Strathcona Park for our open-air Theatre Under the Stars productions . Other activities include new play creation, professional and youth training, digital theatre (such as The Other Path.ca audio drama podcast), and community engagement. We work with community partners to reach new and diverse audiences for theatre.
