The inaugural production of Playhouse On Park’s Connecticut Shakespeare Festival in West Hartford, CT, from July 7th through 17th, 2021. Directed by Emma Rosa Went, with Olivia Rose Barresi as Helena.
Magic blows into town as a Duke and a Duchess prepare for their wedding day, some amateur actors rehearse a play, and four young lovers run into the woods – where a kingdom of fairies emerges to enchant, transform, and entangle us in their dreams. Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night’s Dream – one of the most enduringly popular plays of all time – is a wild and whimsical celebration of love, nature, and the magic of theatre itself.
Featuring Olivia Rose Barresi, Kara Arena, Chris Bellinger, Jack Dillon, Robert Denzel Edwards, Zoë Goslin, Patrick Harvey, Tania Kass, Miss Sandra Mhlongo, Resa Mishina, Katrien Van Riel, Katie Brough, Isaac Kueber, Trishawn Paul, Bianca Day Feiner, Hallie Friedman, and Danny Kelly.
