All the world's a stage and the kids at St. Stephen's could be players in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream!
Auditions are open to kids fifth grade and up and will be at St. Stephen's in the social hall on Saturday June 9th at 7pm. Rehearsals will commence in July. Please see schedule below. The performance will be held outdoors on Tuesday July 31 in the evening.
Midsummer is Shakespeare's funniest play and there are plenty of parts, small and large, to go around. Email Katie Martin at klloydmartin@gmail.com if you would like to try out. She will send you an audition piece to practice and memorize. Please only sign up if you are committed to making the rehearsals (below) and, of course, the play date. (Older kids who want to participate in stage management but not acting, are welcome to please email as well!)
