Piedmont Players Theatre Announces Youth Cast of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

A comedy written by William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream portrays the events surrounding the marriage of Theseus, the Duke of Athens, to Hippolyta. These include the adventures of 4 young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (the mechanicals) who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set.
