A Midsummer Night’s Dream (at Paper Mill Playhouse)

The McCarter Theatre and The Paper Mill Playhouse co-produce A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Shakespeare’s most romantic comedy combines the world of imagination with enchanting elements of Ancient Greece and Renaissance England. And now, it gets an all new musical twist from the accomplished actor/singer/musicians that are the pop/rock sensation GrooveLily! Ill-fated lovers, bungling actors, and a feuding pair of sprites are struck with Cupid’s misfired arrows. The result: romantic havoc. Experience the unreasoning and undeniably powerful nature of love in this purely joyful, hilarious, and dreamlike comedy.

The cast includes Guy Adkins as Puck, Lea DeLaria as Bottom, Will Fowler as Demetrius, Jay Goede as Oberon/Theseus, James Martinez as Lysander, Ellen McLaughlin as Titania/Hippolyta, Stacey Sargeant as Hermia, and Brenda Withers as Helena.
