The Black Box Theatre
MCC students explore the world of the theatre through courses on acting, character analysis, scene preparation, theatre design, scene construction, costuming, and lighting and you are able to enjoy fabulous entertainment as a result!
The Black Box Theatre at McHenry County College is proud to announce its fall 2024 production of Metamorphoses by Mary Zimmerman, directed by Jay Geller.
Mary Zimmerman's Metamorphoses brings Ovid's tales to visual life. Set in and around a large pool of water onstage, the play 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. Time magazine hailed it as the “theatrical event of the year” and the New York Times raved, "With its emphases on love, loss and the transforming powers of memory and the imagination . . . the production has been reducing calloused New Yorkers to sobs."
Performances
Metamorphoses opens on November 1 and runs November 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17.
Evening performances at 7 p.m. Sunday performances at 2 p.m.
