The production of Metamorphoses has been one of the largest and most advanced undertakings of the drama department, with a dramatic retelling of a classical Greek tale. The production included a full sized pool used during the play. Upon closing night on December 4, the production was sold out and has since then won first for the California Theatre Education Association, an incredibly impressive accomplishment for the drama department as a whole. This is thanks to harkwork of the many staff as actors, such as Nathaniel Chin (11) portraying Orpheus as he is showered in water and begs Hades, god of the underworld, to return his bride, Eurydice, to living.
