DIRECTORS NOTE
What was the first Shakespeare play you encountered? Many of us would likely answer A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare’s fantastical comedic romance with its hilarious troupe of tradesmen turned actors, powerful fairies, and unforgettable moments of love succeeding against all odds... Our attention to nostalgia, individuality, and sustainability has had an impact on nearly every aspect of our production, from the use of sustainable crafting practices to the creationof bilingual characters who breathe new life into this classic play.
- Alaina Smith and Johnny Williams III
