Cross-Eyed Bear Productions Presents THE THYME OF THE SEASON 6/3

Cross Eyed Bear Productions is pleased to present THE THYME OF THE SEASON, written and directed by Duncan Pflaster, as part of the 2nd Annual Planet Connections Theatre Festivity. The play will take place June 6rd through the 23rd at Gene Frankel Theatre (24 Bond Street).

It's Hallowe'en, three months after Midsummer. When Titania and Oberon need to pay their 7-yearly tithe to hell, they have to find a human soul to sacrifice. Puck's been ensorcelled by a witch so that he can't sleep, and there's a new Autumn fairy, Pumpkinseed, who is in love with that merry wanderer of the night. Meanwhile, Helena is pregnant, Demetrius thinks she's cheating, Lysander is exploring his feminine side, and Hermia is unsatisfied. Bottom has become a huge famous rich ass. Everyone goes into the forest, but will they all come back out?

"The Thyme of the Season" will feature Eric C. Bailey* as Bottom, Matt Falber as Demetrius, Clara Barton Green (2005 Spotlight On Award, Best Actress for Pflaster's Eternity: Time Without End) as Puck, Rebecca Hirota as Hermia, Tania Jeudy as Fairy Pumpkinseed, Shawn McLaughlin as Lysander, Ryan G. Metzger* (Playboy of the Western World, Pearl Theater Company) as Oberon, Kelly Nichols as Helena, and Michelle Ramoni* as Titania.
