Visit www.belmont.edu/theatre for advanced tickets. Ticket availability at the door will vary by performance.
METAMORPHOSES* By Mary Zimmerman Set in and around a large pool of water onstage, this adaption is both classical and contemporary, retelling the ancient myths with modern American sensibility much the same way Ovid retold the Greek myths for Romans. The use of the water illustrates and represents the transformation and change found in the ancient writings. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for Faculty, Staff, Senior Citizens, Alumni and non-Belmont students, and free for Belmont Students. Troutt Theater dates and times: Friday, September 26 at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, September 27 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday, September 28 at 2 p.m. Wednesday, October 1 at 7:30 p.m. Friday, October 3 at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, October 4 at 2 and 7:30 p.m.
GENE KELLY:THE LEGACY* An evening with Patricia Ward Kelly Biographer and film historian Patricia Ward Kelly takes audiences behind the scenes and shares an intimate story of her late husband Gene Kelly, the man who helped create some of the most memorable scenes in film history. This unique, live performance combines rare and familiar film clips, never released audio recordings, memorabilia, and personal insights culled from hours of interviews with her husband. Tickets are $30 for adults, $15 for Faculty, Staff and Alumni and $10 for students. Belmont students may receive a ticket to the Saturday matinee for no charge. Troutt Theater dates and times: Friday, October 24 at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, October 25 at 2 p.m.
THE TWO GENTLEMAN OF VERONA* By William Shakespeare Thought to be Shakespeare's earliest surviving play, this comedy is filled with passionate lovers, women disguised as men, sword fights, sudden revelations and a happy ending, all underscored by a farcical subplot featuring Launce and his dog Crab. Tickets are $8 for adults, $4 for Faculty, Staff, Senior Citizens, Alumni and non-Belmont students and free for Belmont Students. Black Box Theater dates and times: Friday, November 7 at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, November 8 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday, November 9 at 2 p.m. Wednesday, November 12 at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, November 13 at 7:30 p.m. Friday, November 14 at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, November 15 at 2 and 7:30 p.m.
