Central Christian College production for the fall is the always entertaining and whimsical “Mid Summer’s Nights Dream.” This Shakespeare original is being given a new twist, a tie-dye and camouflage twist. Using original dialogue from the play the setting has the entire story takes place during the 1960’s. The production promises a colorful cast with many returners including David Noren and Kathryn Lott who are both seniors this year. Joe Hirsh will also be gracing the boards with his vibrant personality as an actor and co-director of the play. Many other returning performers will act in this lively and extremely funny play.
It will have you trying on your old bell bottoms again as the energetic cast divides up into hippies, military, and some sort of village person…The hippy fairies will espouse peace and love, yet cause more mischief for young love than peace, and militant Athenians will run amok trying to keep the lovers apart. As with most of Shakepeare’s plays there are comic elements to please any audience. Things are made even more interesting when a band of rag-tag, amateur actors stumbles into the hippy fairies forest while trying to get a play ready for the military Duke’s wedding feast.
In short, audience members should come ready to laugh at the high-energy comedy in store for them. The actors have promised to give their best performance and be as groovy as they can be. With that said, ON WITH THE SHOW!
