ON STAGE NOW!

Metamorphoses
by Mary Zimmerman

Myths take us to a world of dreams and desires.
Where Love can be your salvation
      or your damnation.
Either way, you will be changed.

Elden Street Players is very excited to present the Washington Area Premiere of this beautiful and imaginative piece of storytelling!!

The challenges presented by this Tony-nominated play are many: 12 actors performing over 80 characters; more than a dozen stories in 90 minutes, lovers transforming into birds, trees, and mist; an enormous sea battle; and did we mention the 1,000 gallon pool of water on stage??

Metamorphoses is a modern adaptation of Ovid’s thrilling Roman mythological stories, filled with lyrical dialogue, comedy, tragedy, and told through acting, singing, and movement!

Produced by Theresa Bender
Directed by Evan Hoffmann

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?
by Tom McCabe

A hilarious comedy which cleverly combines the tale of The Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood with a very hungry wolf stuck between them! Children and adults will delight in the whirlwind antics of the three pigs, a French Canadian woodsman, and Cornelius B.B. Wolf, who might actually get something to eat, if he doesn't keep blowing things away. A real crowd pleaser for kids and adults alike!

Produced by Mary Ann Hall
Directed by Scott Olson

On Stage Next!

Wit by Margaret Edson

Winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize, Wit is intellectually challenging and emotionally immediate. Vivian Bearing, Ph.D., a renowned professor of English who has spent years studying and teaching the brilliant and difficult metaphysical sonnets of John Donne, has been diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer. Her approach to the study of Donne is aggressively probing, intensely rational. But during the course of her illness and her stint as a prize patient in an experimental chemotherapy program at a major teaching hospital, Vivian comes to reassess her life and work with a profundity and humor that are transformative both for her and the audience.

Produced by Janet Bordeaux
