Sossi and associate artistic director-actress Beth Hogan push the creative envelope while maintaining a large subscription audience. Past productions include Aristophanes' ''The Frogs,'' Ionesco's ''Rhinoceros,'' Mamet's ''Speed-the-Plow,'' Berkoff's ''Kvetch,'' Miller's ''All My Sons'' and Odets' ''Awake and Sing!''
In 1989, the Odyssey renovated and relocated to a space with three, 99-seat houses under one roof. Each of the well-maintained theater spaces has a different configuration. The upholstered seating is comfortable and sight lines are good throughout. There is also a nice refreshment counter at intermission and plenty of room in the lobby to sit and chat. Parking is available in an attendant lot in front of the theater; there also is limited free parking on Sepulveda and adjacent side streets.
