Odyssey looking for thrilling videos

Odyssey Dance Theatre is putting out a call for entries to submit short video segments to be shown during the company’s production of “Thriller” this October.

Odyssey Dance Theatre’s production of “Thriller” has become a Halloween tradition. Full of scares and laughs from all your favorite horror characters, “Thriller” performs this fall with over 40 sold out performances in seven different locations. A unique collection of dance-driven vignettes, “Thriller” has also included several short videos as part of its presentation.
