US drama students present Metamorphoses

RE drama students offered a modern take on a series of ancient myths in Metamorphoses, an 11-act play based loosely on the eponymous work by the Roman poet Ovid. Each member of the cast of 10 performed multiple roles in the play, which focused on transformation and was set around a pool of water. Photo Gallery
Many of the actors also assisted with the extraordinary staging, which featured a real pool center stage. Performing arts teacher Sam Shapiro directed the production.
