Armonk Players Stages A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, Now thru 12/14

This December, the Armonk Players present William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by Christine DiTota with musical staging by Christine Gavin.

William Shakespeare's comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream, replete with confused lovers, mischievous fairies, eager to please mechanicals and a changeling is one of his most popular and widely-performed plays. The Armonk Players has retained the exquisite beauty and delightful humor of the Bard's words and story while steering this production in a new and imaginative direction. There are many surprises in store! Set in modern time, be assured that "what happens in the woods stays in The Woods." This playful presentation will be can't-miss fun for the whole family. We think the Bard of Avon would be quite pleased!

Kisco) as Flute, Bruce Apar (Yorktown) as Peter Quince, Anthony Barresi Jr. (Goldens Bridge) as Demetrius, Steven Bendler (Yonkers) as Lysander, Nancy Jane Blake (Peekskill) as Snout, Daniel Carlino as Puck, Isabella Marion DiBuono (Carmel), Brandi Danielle Gestri (Armonk) as Hermia, Heidi Giarlo (Port Chester) as Snug, Jennifer Edwards Kawa (Inwood) as Helena, , David Morabito as Oberon (Sleepy Hollow), Mikaela Whitney Russano (Armonk), Julia Ryan (Ridgefield, CT) as Sterveling, Tony Val as Bottom (Port Chester) and Leah Wendt as Titania (Valhalla).
