Teen Performers Wanted for "A Midsummer Night's Dream" Play
Seeking teen performers for “A Midsummer Night's Dream” play. Details are provided below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Summer residents at the Athenian have their own capers to sort through. Egeus has pledged his daughter Hermia's hand to Demetrius, but Hermia loves another summer resident, Lysander. To top this off, Demetrius has played a little "summer lovin'" with Hermia's best friend, Helena, who has fallen hard for Demetrius. So, what else is young love to do but run off to the beach to sort it all out. Meanwhile, the Athenian resort employees have a task of their own. Head concierge, Peter Quince, has gathered his skilled crew: Nick Bottom - the surf instructor, Francis Flute - heating and air maintenance, Snug - carpenter, Tom Snout - onsite auto maintenance, and Robin Starling - resort tailor, to produce a play for the Athenian/Amazon merger celebration. Then, of course, there are the fairies, who also work at the Athenian where quarrels abound. Oberon, the bartender, is going through a messy breakup from his lover, Titania, the featured resort lounge singer. Oberon, along with his barback, Puck, devise a plan to trick Titania into giving up a young child she has recently adopted, and humiliate her fellow fairy band members as well. As they plot, Oberon overhears the argument of lovesick Helena and angry Demetrius, and figures he can assist in these efforts too. Oberon sends Puck out with a task and strict instructions. Rate: All professional cast are paid. The directors cannot provide housing for this production. Additional info: Open to Union and Non-Union Actors. Rehearsals are currently scheduled to begin Oct. 5th, 2025.
