Our Next Production

Let's Play: A Midsummer Night's Dream
By William Shakespeare
Adapted & Directed by Thomas R. Gordon

"A Magical Game of Love & Inspiration"

Do you want to play a game?  Well Shakespeare's faeries and mystical creatures are upset because last year The Onomatopoeia Theatre Company only produced one show and it wasn’t even a comedy! To make up for this, they are magically forcing four of mortal actors from NYC to play a chaotic game where they must perform the roles of the Four Lovers and the Rude Mechanicals from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”!  It will be a night of theatrical chaos full of music, laughter and dance!  Come have fun as an audience of magical creature’s plays with a group of foolish mortal performers!  Please join The Onomatopoeia Theatre Company as we lovingly tear apart this timeless classic searching for romantic love while also trying to appease all things magical!


Jan. 3 - Jan. 25
at the Gene Frankel Theatre
