Perseverance Theatre’s Young Company performed Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” over the weekend.
The cast, who ranged in age from 9 to 13, put on an abridged version of the play. Sunday’s show was for a packed house. Although the play was shorter than usual, it remained true to Shakespeare’s original text. The company practiced three times a week for two months leading up to their Friday premiere.
Listen to this audio postcard from Sunday’s show. Perseverance Theatre’s Tom Robenolt introduces the play. The actors include Finn Lamb as Theseus, Nina Rautiainen as Egeus, Clara Ferguson as Puck, Sydney Hood as Fairy and Seth Coppens as Oberon.
