The C.W. Baker High School drama club will present “Metamorphoses” at 7 p.m. Saturday Nov. 1 and at 2 p.m. Sunday Nov. 2 in the school auditorium at 29 E. Oneida St. in the village of Baldwinsville.

“Metamorphoses,” written by Mary Zimmerman, brings Ovid’s ancient tales of transformation to stunning visual life. Set in and around a pool of water onstage, the play juxtaposes the ancient and the contemporary in both language and image to reflect the timeless themes of love, loss, separation, isolation and rebirth. It is powerful, moving, and funny, right up to its final touching moments.

“Metamorphoses” originated in Chicago and played around the country and off- Broadway before moving to Broadway in March of 2002. It won the 2002 Tony Award for best director and was nominated for best play and best scenic design.
