Helena loves Demetrius who loves Hermia who loves Lysander. Hermia and Lysander run off together to the forest followed by the jealous Demetrius who is in turn pursued by Helena. In the forest Oberon and Titania, the King and Queen of the Fairies are quarreling while a group of hysterically bad amateur actors meet in the same woods to rehearse a play. A magic love potion is introduced, the four star-crossed lovers become uncrossed and crisscrossed and the worst of the actors has his human head replaced with one from a donkey.
And then things get really complicated….
Audiences who attend this summer’s performances of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM will be treated to a special “environmental” production. They should be prepared to walk short distances outdoors in a wooded setting across dark, uneven terrain. Audience members will be led by student cast and crew carrying lanterns. The play will begin and end in the chapel with the majority of time spent in the adjacent wooded area. In the event of inclement weather, those in attendance will remain indoors. Audience size has been limited to 50 per performance.
Tickets can be purchased at the North High School main office between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. beginning Monday, July 11th and at the door one hour prior to each performance. For further information, contact Ron Parker, director at 707-0487 or by e-mail, [email protected] .
