GHS Theatre takes Shakespeare to the football field this weekend
The theater kids are taking over the football field this weekend as the Grafton High School Theatre Department presents “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
A condensed version of Shakespeare’s classic play, adapted by Claudia Haas, this dynamic adaptation maintains the original poetry while simplifying the language and plot. The play opens with the Dreamer, a modern student, in her attempts to understand Shakespeare’s story. When Puck, a mischievous fairy appears, The Dreamer is whisked away into a magical world of fantasy, love, and drama.
The story comes to life through a talented student cast of 22 actors including: Annika Alves, Nate Briggs, Sylvia Cahill, Sophia Coldwell, Sarah Elshaarawy, Gabby Felder, JJ Fields, Anna Fiore, Helena Firlings, Belle Geoffroy, Noah Griffin, Meroska Gouhar, Abby Hise, Sigrid Hiser, Chase Landry, Natalie Leonard, Amanda Murdock, Maggie Mussler, Alma Mwangi, Mia O’Donnell, Ryan Tierney, and Zayda Waters.
The dedicated student crew includes Madie Geoffroy, Juliana Kallio, Ainsley Marr, Kelly Merkle, Kiera Mills, Zoe Mumford, Olivia Zinkowsky.
The show is produced and directed by Theatre Arts Director, Lisa Scarlett, with assistance from Matt Mariner, Michele Landry, Ron Burke, and John Aurin. Tickets are not being sold but donations are gratefully accepted. Audience space is limited to approximately 150 people per performance. Masks must be worn at all times and social distancing from groups not within immediate families is expected.
The Grafton High School Theatre Department is proud to present their upcoming spring production, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, adapted by Claudia Haas. Performances will occur outdoors on the Grafton High School turf on Friday, May 14 and Saturday, May 15 at 7 pm. Raindates are Friday May 21 and Saturday May 22 at 7 p.m.
