Riverside Theatre Project’s 2nd Season continues with William Shakespeare’s classic comedy: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, adapted by John Wolbers
Featuring a 31-person cast of fairies, lovers, royalty, and so many more - this production is sure to help you keep laughter and love at the forefront of your summertime plans!
Plot summary:
Our play begins with the media not very happy that Theseus (a duke) is marrying Hippolyta (anyone remember the Meghan/Harry drama?) - but their wedding plans will have to take a backseat to a trio of bickering lovers:
Hermia loves Lysander,
Lysander loves Hermia,
But only Demetrius has permission to marry Hermia…
Oh, and Helena loves Demetrius!
🎶 Into the woods 🎶 they all end up only to be there at the same time as our feuding King (Oberon) and Queen (Titania) of the Fairies - love potions and mistaken identities ensue 🧚 🧪
Meanwhile, a theatre troupe of very enthusiastic artists are rehearsing a play, also in the woods, and might find themselves CHANGED 🫏 as a result of 🧚♂️ mischief
Plot twists, shape-shifting fairy royalty, and a hand-held smoothie maker all can be found in this classic!
So make your plans to visit us in beautiful Hermann, MO in the historic Showboat Theatre and help us unite our communities through the making and sharing of art!
