Acclaimed storyteller Odds Bodkin will offer five separate tales this fall during his run at Lincoln Center's Clark Studio Theatre.

Billboard Magazine calls Bodkin a "modern-day Orpheus," and his selections at the Clark Studio Theatre range from epic adventures to tales of love. The Odyssey: Belly of the Beast begins the series, which also includes What a Woman Desires Most: Three Tales of Love, Heartpounders: Halloween Horror for Adults, The Winter Cherries: Tales for Christmas and Chanukah and the special kids offering, Storyblast! Family Matinee Series. Odds accompanies his characters with original music played on a variety of instruments, including the 12 string guitar, alto recorder, kalimba, grand piano and Celtic harp.
