Theatre for a New Audience has begun rehearsals for its upcoming Julie Taymor-directed production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which will run October 19-January 12. Taymor’s vision for this Shakespearean classic is a fantasia of light and shadow.
The cast will include Tina Benko, Max Casella, David Harewood, Zach Appelman, Mandi Masden, Lilly Englert, Zachary Infante, Brendan Averett, Okwui Okpokwasili, Roger Clark, and Kathryn Hunter. Check out these rehearsal photos:
