JANUARY 20 2012 FRIDAY – OPENING NIGHT @7:30 P.M.
SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK 2012
“A
Midsummer Night’s Dream” will be performed “under the stars” (one
matinee show is also available) in this outdoor theater experience!
The
Shakespearian play is performed by actors, in the middle of the park!
It is really a very unique experience (a huge stage is built, and
everyone brings blankets, cheese, wine, etc. They also set up bleachers,
for your comfort. The special effects of last year’s “Romeo and
Juliette” were really neat!). The literature mentions that this is
appropriate for adults and kids 8 and up.
I
called Pinecrest Gardens, and confirmed that the even is FREE. They are
not even charging entrance to the park on the days the play is
performing!
January 21, 2012 @7:30pm Saturday
JANUARY 22, 2012 @4:30 P.M.SUNDAY
Performance is 90 minutes long.
A Midsummer Night's Dream is a play that was written by William Shakespeare. It is believed to have been written between 1590 and 1596. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta.
These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group
of amateur actors, who are manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the
forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of
Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and is widely performed
across the world.
