WHAT to Open 2016 Season with A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, 3/17-4/3
Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater opens the 2016 Theater Season with the first Shakespeare production this theater has ever done in its 32 year history. "A Midsummer Night's Dream," opening March 17 and running through April 3, is co-produced with Peregrine Theater Ensemble and directed by Jeffry George and Christopher Ostrom. The cast is Adam Berry, Ben Berry, Hope Cervantes, Amanda Cate Fuller, Holly Hansen, Cynthia Harrington, Amy Jo Jackson, Nat Taylor, Claire Tyers and Nathan Winkelstein.
WHAT celebrates 400 years of Shakespeare with the world's favorite pastime: Love! William Shakespeare's most popular comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream, portrays the adventures of four young lovers and a troupe of amateur actors in a mythical Athens and enchanted forest. In collaboration with Peregrine Theatre Ensemble, WHAT ushers in the season with a fairy king and queen, a misguided parent, star-crossed lovers, wood sprites, elves and one very handsome donkey.
In addition to the Thursday-Monday performances, the company will perform special matinees for student groups from area schools, with a question and answer period following those performances.
Special dates to note are Pay WHAT You Can Night on March 18, an opening night reception on March 19, and two Playmaker Talkbacks March 24 and 31.
Individual tickets to "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and season subscriptions are now on sale, including a new Theater Under 30 subscription for young theater patrons: 5 plays for $50.
