Blending the timeless drama of Homer’s Epic with the swag and humor of contemporary Hip-Hop and R&B, BLUDLINE has quickly gathered accolades in the new musical world, winning the prestigious Richard Rodgers Award, the Pipeline Arts Foundation Grand Prize, and development through the Rhinebeck Writers Retreat and Drama Club Camp.
BLUDLINE is the brainchild of Fermin Suero, Jr. and Pete White. Coming from very different worlds both personally and professionally, they have found an alchemy of their experiences in the studio and live theater to create a truly unique and ground-breaking work.

THE STORY
The 10-year Trojan War finally wraps, thanks to the brilliant Trojan Horse. Its mastermind? King Odysseus of Ithaca, who leads the Greeks in wild celebration. But his trip home turns into years of detours, stacked with monsters and temptations, including Cyclops, the Sirens, and Circe.
Meanwhile back in Ithaca, things are falling apart. His wife Penelope is holding her ground as best she can against swarms of suitors, while their son Telemachus is forced to step up, growing into a man under the long shadow of a legendary father he’s never met.
