WICA Presents METAMORPHOSES, 6/10-25

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts, under the leadership of Executive Director Stacie Burgua, is proud to present Mary Zimmerman's "Metamorphoses" at WICA, 565 Camano Avenue, Langley, WA June 10 - 25, 2011.

"Metamorphoses" stages -- in 5000 gallons of water -- the great transformation myths of Ovid and explores the concept, possibilities and consequences of change.
Zimmerman, on why she chose to write a play based on stories thousands of years old says, "These myths have a redemptive power in that they are so ancient. There's a comfort in the familiarity of the human condition." Each vignette, and the play itself, is about change, which one can surmise from the title. These changes however are all related to love, which takes on many forms and leads the bearers to many things, both good and bad. In the end, even Midas is redeemed and is reunited with his daughter who had been turned to gold by his former love of money and power.??"[Metamorphoses] makes it easy to enter the heart and to believe in greater change as well... that we all can transform." -- Mary Zimmerman
