Spots are limited and are not guaranteed.
About The Show:
Girl loves boy. Boy loves girl. Dad hates the boy but wants the daughter to be with another… who someone else loves. Magical forest. Crazy actors. Ridiculous fairies. Mixed-up love potions. A donkey’s head.
This sparkling adaptation of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the perfect hybrid, with the play feeling timeless, yet having modern references to things in today’s world, like cell phones, Uber, and cute shoes. Likewise, the names of the characters are true to Shakespeare’s classic, yet the language is contemporary… with just a few original monologues to heighten the educational value of this play. It will be a dream come true as you help young actors and audiences discover — and understand — the delight of Shakespeare’s most popular comedy!
