The Shakespeare Trunk Show Production Class is for students in 8th – 12th grade.

Performances are Saturday, October 5 at 5PM & 7PM and Sunday, October 6 at 5PM.

These special performances will take place in the Meeting Room space, so seating is limited!

Fairies and love spells and donkeys, oh my! Dive into the enchanted world of Shakespeare’s zaniest comedy. While we love to think outside the box, our new “Shakespeare Trunk Show” program thinks inside the box: everything in the play must fit inside the only set piece – a trunk! A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the colorful adventure of four young lovers, a group of actors who shouldn’t quit their day jobs, and some impish fairies clumsily playing matchmaker. This ever-popular classic is a tribute to the Bard’s brilliance, exploring the complexities of the human (and inhuman) heart in the whimsical style of magical realism. Our accessible adaptation is 60-minutes of love triangles, squares, hexagons, you name it, all creatively and simply brought to life through imagination, teamwork, and just a little bit of magic! Get ready to giggle like an Elizabethan and party like it’s 1594!
