2008 Boston Professional Premiere of Metamorphoses
Mary Zimmerman's Metamorphoses brings Ovid's tales to stunning visual life. The show juxtaposes the ancient and the contemporary in both language and image to reflect the variety and persistence of narrative in the face of inevitable change. The use of characters from Greek and Roman mythology, such as Eros, Aphrodite, and Midas, make this a truly unique experience.
Local Talent, Local Flavor The Boston Actors Theater has firmly established itself as a home for Boston area actors, writers and directors. Founded in 2004, Boston Actors Theater has attracted both critical acclaim and unique talent. Our first two productions, A.R. Gurney's Love Letters and Steve Martin's The Underpants were widely considered successes, but it was 2005's Love From Beginning to End and Everything in Between that helped move the company to larger spaces. As the company has grown it has taken on more daring projects, including the critically acclaimed Criminal Hearts original piece Hence These Tears and, most recently, the Boston Premier of Mary Zimmerman's Tony Nominated Metamorphoses. Continuing its tradition of supporting local artists, this summer, Boston Actors Theater will again produce its Summer Play Festival, featuring four original one-act plays by local playwrights.
