CCM Video: A Sneak Peek at CCM’s Scenic Design for ‘Metamorphoses’

CCM’s Patricia Corbett Theater recently underwent a dramatic metamorphosis of its own in anticipation of our upcoming production of Mary Zimmerman’s Metamorphoses. Today, CCM student Alexi Ortiz provides us with a time-lapse video of last weekend’s load-in, which includes an early look at Metamorphoses‘ much-talked-about on-stage pool.

Scenic Designer Dana Hall and Technical Director Christian Mikkelsen (both of whom are students at CCM) provide additional insight on this process to the News Record‘s Jake Grieco here.

Based on the classic myths of Ovid, Metamorphoses runs Feb. 5 (preview) – 9. Guest artist D. Lynn Meyers directs. The production is intended for mature audiences.
