Local students at Commonwealth School in Boston participated in a recent production of Mary Zimmerman’s “Metamorphoses.”

Crew member Emma Porter and cast member Noah Powell, both of Dedham, took part in the production.

The play, Zimmerman’s adaptation of Ovid’s classic Greek poem, was presented on Nov. 20 and 21 at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center. 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, visit www.commschool.org.
