Brought to life by the Colorado Springs Conservatory’s High School Preparatory Program students, Metamorphoses weaves together stories of love, loss, humor, and transformation—told with honesty, artistry, and heart.

Metamorphoses is a play based on Ovid’s first-century epic, a poetic collection of Greek myths. Each of the tales – beautiful, strange and often cautionary – comes to some form of radical, bodily transformation. Throughout the centuries, these stories have been interpreted variously as reflections of psychological or spiritual journeys, or even as an early form of science – an encyclopedia of how nature got the way it is. They are always reminders that we, and everything we know, will change. There is humor in the stories as well as tragedy, but the ultimate expression of the piece is that of a faith in the ability of great love to cause great change.
