Mythology Comes Alive with 'Metamorphoses'

The Theater Department presents "Metamorphoses" this weekend for their fall production.

"Metamorphoses" is "a clever and imaginative play based on the Greek myths of Ovid," according a press release from Lynn Polan, the theater department director at Chatham High.

Using humor and compassion, the play tells the story of eight mythological stories, including Orpheus and Eurydice in the underworld and King Midas and the Golden Touch.

The play shows at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday at the Chatham High auditorium. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased online in advance or at the door, or at the main lobby at Chatham High from 10:45 to 11:30 a.m. The performance is appropriate for all ages.
