a dance theater adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic comedy.
Open Dance Projec t presents A Midsummer Night’s Dream , a dance theater adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic comedy. Join Hermia as she runs away from an overbearing father into a forest filled with hapless young lovers, a feuding Fairy King and Queen, a mischievous sprite, and an uproarious band of amateur actors. Great for all ages, this humorous and poignant coming-of-age tale features an original score by Two Star Symphony’s Kirk Suddreath and John Duboise, puppets by Afsaneh Aayani, and Open Dance Project’s signature athleticism, theatrical antics, aerial silks, acrobatics, and good old fashioned family fun. ODP invites young audiences to experience the magic of Shakespeare through a dance theater production that celebrates the power of the imagination and the indomitable spirit of youth.Read more
