In a unique partnership with San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park and San Francisco Maritime National Park Association, We Players is adapting Homer's epic poem for presentation aboard Alma, a 1891 flat-bottomed scow schooner and National Historic Landmark. Enjoy sailing on the gorgeous San Francisco Bay while WE weave together this archetypical tale of travel, exploration, and home-coming with the Park's interpretive themes, and Alma's own layered local history. At the conclusion of the sail, all passengers are requested to continue the adventure and join the performers and crew for feedback, storytelling and a simple reception aboard historic ferryboat Eureka.
