A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM       

By the MCCC Academic Theater & Dance & Entertainment Technology Programs

Fridays, Apr. 1 & 8, 2016 at 8pm

Saturdays, Apr. 2 & 9 at 8pm

Sundays, Apr. 3 & 10 at 2pm

This production of A Midsummer Night's Dream retains all of Shakespeare's comedy and fantastical fairy fun elements, but blended into Midsummer is jazz dancing fused with Classical Indian Dance (Hindi)elements giving our audiences the joyous side of Shakespeare mixed with the beauty and excitement of Indian dancing. Actors and dancers tend to be physical learners, so our production of Midsummer takes what students are learning in the classroom and physicalizes it for the stage.    

Our audience will look at this production as though they are viewing an exciting Bollywood production fused with Shakespeare and jazz, but our students will know that the gestures they are performing date back to over 2,000 years ago.  Our goals are for our students to learn and our audiences to leave the theatre laughing, mesmerized by the dancing and wanting to know a little bit more about India's rich performance traditions.  

Tickets: $18 adults, $16 seniors, $14 students/children

Special Daytime Performance for groups Friday, April 8 at 10am
