University of Texas at Austin Stages A LITTLE MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM Musical Reading Today
The University of Texas at Austin Department of Theatre and Dance brings Broadway talent to Austin with the new musical, A Little Midsummer Night's Dream, for a free staged reading today, June 27 at the B. Iden Payne Theatre.
Created by songwriters Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn, A Little Midsummer Night's Dream is a rock-musical adaptation of William Shakepeare's beloved classic. Set in modern day at an outdoor rock festival, the musical is a collision of rock, iambic pentameter, and glow sticks where rock stars Titania and Oberon quarrel over an electric guitar, circus performer Puck creates havoc, and roadie Bottom finally gets a chance to shine.The creative team of A Little Midsummer Night's Dream has been invited to develop their new musical in residence at The University of Texas at Austin as part of the Texas Musical Theatre Workshop. This summer program, hosted at The University of Texas at Austin, is a pre-collegiate intensive for high school students exploring a potential career in musical theatre. Workshop participants are trained by industry professionals and are exposed to the creative process of new work development.
