ALL AGES FAMILY CLASS SPRING PLAY

"A Midsummer Night’s Dream"

Adapted from the play by William Shakespeare

Directed by Erin MacDonald

Harold Shenkman Hall, April 30-May 2

Four Athenians run away to the forest only to have Puck the fairy make both of the boys fall in love with the same girl. An ill-fated drama troupe rehearses in secret and loses a leading actor to a fairy trick. The fairy king and queen duel with human pawns. It all ends happily and with many laughs, in this most famous of Shakespearean comedies.
