Join us as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love, with both plays taking place in 1967 but set worlds apart: Midsummer in San Francisco and Macbeth in Vietnam.<br /><br />In A Midsummer Night's Dream, one night's journey through a primeval forest wreaks havoc with the hearts and minds of four young rebels, an avant-garde theatre troupe, and even a fairy or two. Can reason be regained --or should it?&nbsp;<br /><br />Macbeth reeks of death, decay, and destruction, all caused by knee-jerk reactions to fear in the conquest for power. Deep in the jungles of Vietnam, a drug-riddled group of soldiers learn they'll not find &lsquo;'a devil more damned in evils to top Macbeth&rdquo;.&nbsp;<br /><br />Music, magic, and the supernatural work in concert in these takes on one of Shakespeare&rsquo;s most popular comedies and one of his most terrifying tragedies.&nbsp;<br /><br />Thursday, June 8, 2017 at 6 PM (Midsummer)<br />Friday, June 9, 2017 at 6 PM (Macbeth)<br />Saturday, June 10, 2017 at 4 PM (Midsummer)<br />Thursday, June 15, 2017 at 6 PM (Macbeth)<br />Friday, June 16, 2017 at 6 PM (Midsummer)<br />Saturday, June 17, 2017 at 4 PM (Macbeth)<br />Sunday, June 18, 2017 at 3PM (Midsummer) AND 6 PM (Macbeth).&nbsp;<br /><br />All performances are FREE at Summit Rock in Central Park (B/C to American Museum of Natural History/81st street).<br /><br />A Midsummer Night's Dream directed by Laurel Andersen<br />Macbeth directed by Matt Bayer<br /><br />Produced by Barefoot Shakespeare Company<br /><br />A Midsummer Night's Dream Stage Managed by Ellen Mischinski<br />Assistant Stage Managed by Emily Rose White<br />Macbeth Stage Managed by Emily Thaler<br />Assistant Stage Managed by Lauren Lay<br /><br />Choreographer: Arden Winant<br />Fight Director: Rob Aronowitz<br />Music Director: James Kivlen<br />Assistant Director: Jillian Musarskiy<br />Props: Samantha K.Gronwoldt<br />Stylist: Bryan Swift<br />Costume Assistant: Robin Johnson<br />Show Artwork: Dave DiMarchi<br />Dramaturg: Nick Orvis<br />Volunteer Coordinator: Emily Thaler<br /><br />Featuring:<br /><br />William Bednar, Christopher Berghoff, <u><em>Charly Bivona</em></u>, Collin Blackard, Charlotte Foster, Emily Gallagher, Ruby Hurlock, Courtney Moors, Joe Raik, Rob Sniffin, and Cody Wilson.<br /><br />Follow our rehearsal process on social media using&nbsp;<br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/barefootshakes">#barefootshakes</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/summeroflove">#summeroflove</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/midsummer">#midsummer</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/macbeth">#macbeth</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/magicisreal">#magicisreal</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/bloodwillhaveblood">#BloodWillHaveBlood</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/devilmoredamned">#DevilMoreDamned</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/takepainsbeperfect">#TakePainsBePerfect</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/hempenhomespun">#HempenHomespun</a><br /><br />For directions, maps, and more info, visit&nbsp;<a href="http://www.barefootshakespeare.org/" target="_blank"><span>www.barefootshakespeare.or</span>g</a></font></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
