Congratulations to the Shorewood High School students who were cast in the upcoming fall play, A Midsummer Night's Dream.
A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy written by William Shakespeare in 1595-1596. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of Theseus, the Duke of Athens, to Hippolyta (the former queen of the Amazons). These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (the mechanicals) who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world.
The performances will take place October 17, 18, and 19 at 7 p.m. in the Gensler Theatre (SHS Auditorium). Tickets will be available for purchase at the Shorewood Drama website closer to the performance dates.
