A Midsummer Night's Dream at The Wilmington Drama League!

A Midsummer Night's Dream
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Ann Bartley and Jeff Robleto

FINAL PERFORMANCES
THIS WEEKEND!
May 28 and 29 at 8PM

BOX OFFICE - 302-764-1172
TICKETS $15 - $12 Students/Seniors - $8 Children

Falling in love has enough ups and downs for mere mortals, but when mischievous fairies get involved, it’s downright tumultuous. In the timeless comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare shows love gone awry through weaving together the mortal world, ancient Athens, and fairy magic. Enjoy the witty, shifty Puck mixing things up for the earnest quartet of confused young lovers, and watch Bottom, the comedically clueless aspiring thespian, become the object of affection for the glorious fairy queen Titania.

Pillow Play Auditions at the Wilmington Drama League

Audition Dates:

Saturday, February 20th
1pm – 4pm

Monday, February 22nd
6:30pm – 9pm

Performance Schedule:
Saturday, May 1st - 10 am and 2 pm at WDL,
Sunday, May 2nd - 2 pm at Mary Campbell Center
Saturday, May 15 - 2 pm at Newark Library

Director Debbi Bradford seeks kids for this short play, which will be produced in the Drama League lobby and other local venues.

No preparation is necessary,
Readings will be from the script.

Based on the classic title by Hans Christian Anderson and adapted by Vera Morris. The original Thumbelina is a literary fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen about a thumb-sized girl and her many adventures before falling in love with a flower-fairy prince just her size. "Thumbelina" is mainly Andersen's invention, although he did take inspiration from tales of miniature people such as "Tom Thumb". The tale was first published by C. A. Reitzel on 16 December 1835 in Copenhagen, Denmark with "The Naughty Boy" and "The Traveling Companion" in the second installment of Fairy Tales Told for Children.

Pillow Plays are short plays geared toward kids, (usually 45 minutes to 1 hour.)
They are presented in WDL's lobby with a cast of kids and teenagers, and introduce live theatre to young audiences. The plays are then taken on the road and performed at the Mary Campbell Center, the Newark Library, and other local venues.

The Pillow Plays are FREE; however, any donation to the Wilmington Drama League is graciously accepted, and will help us continue our mission of providing excellent theatre to the community.

Performance Schedule:

Director Eric Merlino seeks kids for this short play, which will be produced in the Drama League lobby and other local venues.

No preparation is necessary,
readings will be from the script.

The course of true love never runs smoothly. Consequently a marriage counselor has opened an office in the kingdom to see how famous fairy tale couples are faring. Everywhere the counselor looks--disaster! Sleeping Beauty will do nothing but nap; the Frog Prince refuses to give up his amphibian ways; and nothing will pry Cinderella away from her beloved cinders. Naturally, the spouses are complaining, and there is no choice but to rewrite the endings of the famous stories. Everyone is run through the computer for new matches. While the results are not exactly pleasing to the newlyweds, they're hilarious to audiences young and old. Finally, even the counselor himself admits he needs help!
