Theatre with Dinner - tentatively scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2009.
- The play will be Metamorphoses by Mary Zimmerman,
presented by the UMBC Department of Theatre and Directed by Eve Muson.
The UMBC Department of Theatre describes the play as follows:
"Metamorphoses, a dramatization based on Ovid's myths, is a retelling of
classical Greek mythology in contemporary language. The play offers a
compassionate view of the human condition. In Zimmerman's
Metamorphoses, we witness the transformative power of love, redemption,
and forgiveness in the stories of Midas, Orpheus and Eurydice, Myrrah and
Cinyrus, Alycone and Ceyx, Eros and Psyche, Phaeton and Apollo, and
others."
- The event is tentatively scheduled to begin with a reception at 5 p.m. on the 7th floor of the Library. Dinner will commence at 6 p.m.
and the play will be held in the UMBC Theatre at 8 p.m.
