Mark your calendar now for the third performance of our 24th Theatrical Reading Season. We will present FREE performances of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" February 15-21, 2019 at our eight Chicago-area venues. “The course of true love never did run smooth.”
In dreams, anything is possible. The recipe for Shakespeare’s most popular comedy includes a group of two young lovers, some amateur actors, and, of course, an assortment of fairies, including Oberon and Titania, in the midst of a bitter custody battle. The play commences with a marriage and then the fun really begins. What better time to depart Chicago’s cold winter and sojourn to Athens and its nearby forests? Melanie Keller makes her Shakespeare Project directing debut. Cast includes: Maxwell Alexander, Chris Amos, Travis Delgado, Stephanie Diaz, Sam Douglas, Jose Antonio Garcia, Fred Geyer, Brian Gill, Lachrissa Grandberry, Robert McLean, Henry Michael Odum, Kyle Racas, Mary Regalado, Lyric Simonson, and Danni Smith.
