Franz Kafka's 'Metamorphosis'

Theatre auditions open to all Metro faculty, staff, and students.

Synopsis: Gregor Samsa, a humble traveling salesman, lives a life of routine. Every day he wakes up, takes the train, goes to work to earn enough money to support his family, and returns home. However, one morning, without explanation, Gregor awakes to find that he has transformed into a gigantic insect. Life will never be the same.
