Local Student Undergoes "Metamorphoses"

Alex Dalton of Marblehead was a member of the cast in the recent Commonwealth School production of Mary Zimmerman’s “Metamorphoses.” The play was presented on November 20 and 21 at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center.

The play, an adaptation of Ovid’s classic Greek poem, was directed by Susan Thompson. Commonwealth presents at least two theatrical productions a year, often supplemented by a student-directed play or musical in the spring.

The school is offering its final Open House for prospective students and families on Tuesday, December 8. For more information, visitwww.commschool.org.
