Author Description

A cycle of thirteen episodes told in Story Theater form, a narrator speaking and life-sized puppets performing simultaneously, Metamorphoses tells the stories from Greek mythologyOCofrom the first moments of creation to its version of the flood, and the trials, tribulations, and joys during ZeusOCOs long reign.
