Let's Play: A Midsummer Night's Dream
by William Shakespeare Adapted by Thomas R. Gordon "A Magical Game of Love & Inspiration" Do you want to play a game? Well Shakespeare's faeries are upset because last year The Onomatopoeia Theatre Company did not produce any comedies… So to make up for this they are magically forcing our company to play a chaotic game of love based around A Midsummer Night's Dream! It will be a night of organized theatrical chaos full of music, laughter and dance as an audience of magical creatures play with a group of foolish mortal actors! 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. 19 at the Gene Frankel Theatre |
