A Midsummer Night's Dream

The first play that we saw was A Midsummer Night's Dream. It was amazing, colorful, and lots of fun. Here are a few stills from the evening.

Hippolyta (Shona Tucker, left) and Theseus (Michael Elich) anxiously await their nuptial celebration. Photo: David Cooper. Don't you just love those chairs!



Titania (Christine Albright, left) and Oberon (Kevin Kenerly), Queen and King of the Fairies, quarrel over the possession of a changeling boy. Photo: Jenny Graham. Christine played a superb Juliette last season & Kevin was Romeo 4 seasons ago. Oberon in black ostrich feathers and not much else ..... yum!!!



Tom Snout (Josiah Phillips), Francis Flute (Eileen DeSandre) and Bottom (Ray Porter) arrive to begin their preparations for rehearsal. Photo: Jenny Graham. These actors are the veteran comedians of the company. They were crazy funny every time they hit the stage.



The fairy world (Mark Bedard, Eddie Lopez, John Tufts, Edgar Miguel Sanchez) dances to a disco beat. Photo: David Cooper. The fairies in this production were just too much fun to watch! Tutus and rippling biceps under fishnet tank tops is the way Shakespeare was meant to be done.
