Posted December 2, 2015 at 2:23 pm

A Midsummer Night’s Dream tells the story of love, jealousy, magic, and imagination—in both the real and imagined worlds. From love potions and magical transformations to marriages and a play-within-a-play—it’s a non-stop delightful exploration of appearance vs. reality.

Auditions will be held at Good Neighbors Theatre for William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at 6:00 p.m. Monday, December 14 and Tuesday, December 15. Angela Sloan is the director and may be contacted at absloan2000@gmail.com. The production is set to open in early March with rehearsals beginning in early January.

Parts are available for all ages—small children through adult. Parts include: three male parts—mature (Theseus, Egeus, Philostrate), two male parts—teen/young adult (Lysander and Demetrius), two female parts—teen/young adult (Hermia and Helena), two female parts—adult (Titania and Hippolyta), one male—adult (Oberon), one male or female—teen/young adult (Puck), six male or female—teen/adult (Rude Mechanicals), seven male or female (speaking)—children (fairies), and Multiple male or female (non-speaking)—children (fairies).

Anyone with an interest in helping with what goes on “behind the curtain” should also attend an audition. People are always needed to help with props, set construction, sound and lights, backstage management of the young ones, and costume construction.
