A 90-minute version of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream with hip-hop fairies and multimedia design!  In the darkest corners of Central Park, two sets of lovers pursue their star-crossed desires.  Helena loves Demetrius and Hermia loves Lysander--but Hermia's father insists she marry Demetrius. The lovers flee this tyranny and take refuge in the woods, where they encounter feuding fairies and a bumbling group of  gardeners-turned-actors.  Add the mischievous nymph, Puck, armed with a purple love potion that makes anyone fall in love with the first person they see (no matter how unsuitable) and you have a delightful mix of fun, chaos and fantasy!


 

“I stepped into the theater and was swallowed wholly by the world of the play...I was shaken only by violent fits of laughter...well worth the trip to Queens.”                           Gilla Babich, ShowBusiness Weekly
