This is a show you don’t want to miss!
The Tony Award-nominated play Metamorphoses will be live on stage at Folger Theatre on Capitol Hill with performances starting May 7. Ovid’s classic stories of the loves, losses, and transformations of gods and mortals are reimagined for the 21st century in Mary Zimmerman’s adaptation directed by Psalmayene 24.
Arranged in a series of interwoven vignettes, the Folger’s version casts the tales in the African Diaspora and features an incredible all-Black ensemble cast. The play juxtaposes the mythic and the modern, with tales of Aphrodite, Midas, Cupid, and others told in a whimsical and poignant fashion, reminding audiences that the joys, follies, and heartbreaks of being human are universal.
Runtime is 90 minutes. Tickets are on sale now and start at just $20!
Purchase tickets and learn more about the play and special events and performances at folger.edu.

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
