Sweet Dreams, the new Air Supply musical, to present socially distanced workshop performance in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada!

 

Sweet Dreams is a comedic, modern day adaptation of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream set to the timeless music of Air Supply.

The InterMISSION program is geared towards turning the challenges of our current climate into opportunities. In an attempt to foster togetherness and revitalize the theatre arts in the ‘age of COVID’, the residency gives local talent the unique opportunity to work directly with Broadway professionals in their hometown. Those being mentored include students from Theatre St. Thomas, Theatre New Brunswick and St. Thomas University.  The workshop performance of Sweet Dreams will feature some of New Brunswick, Canada’s brightest performers and musicians led by seasoned NYC professionals.

MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT Is A Silly Spectacle Of A Good Time At The Stratford Festival

It’s not uncommon to find a King onstage at the Stratford Festival. In fact, Lear and Richard II are making appearances this very season. Other iterations of King Arthur have even walked the boards from time to time. But this is almost certainly the first time a King has trotted across the stage on an imaginary horse whilst his trusted sidekick makes horse hoof sounds with coconut shells. It’s about time! MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT opened last night at the Stratford Festival’s Avon Theatre. To put it simply, it’s silly and it’s a good time – And sometimes, that’s exactly what we’re looking for.
