William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream the Musical is a tale of intertwined lovers. Hermia is in love with Lysander. Demetrius is in love with Hermia. Helena is in love with Demetrius. The four end up lost in an unfamiliar place where Oberon, King of the Fairies, and Titania, Queen of the Fairies, are in the midst of their own love spat. Oberon sends Puck, the King's comical servant, to acquire a magical flower, the juice of which can be used to make people fall in love. Puck, once sent to do his "cupid" duties, makes a mess of everything- causing one wrong love affair after another: Titania to a goofy actor named, Bottom, Lysander and Demetrius to Helena, and so on. Now set to a contemporary country and '80s rock and pop-rock score, William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream the Musical will have you singing in your seats and is a ton of fun for the whole family!

PIPPIN: His Life & Times

AUDITIONS: June 28-29 at 6:30 p.m. in the Fairview High school Cafeteria

PERFORMANCES: August 12-15 at 8:05 p.m.

TICKETS: $12 General Admission / $10 Seniors & Students

Directed by Jim Maggard, Technical Directed by Tyler Bradley.

Once upon a time, the young prince Pippin longed to discover the secret of true happiness and fulfillment. He sought it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, he found it in the simple pleasures of home and family.

Originally directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse, this hip, tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic fairy tale captivated Broadway audiences and continues to appeal to the young at heart everywhere. The energetic pop-influenced score by three-time Oscar-winning composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell, Children of Eden and the animated films Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Prince of Egypt) bursts with one show stopping number after another, from soaring ballads to infectious dance numbers!
