A Midsummer Night’s Dream

There’s a lot happening in the forest near Athens. The Duke is to marry the Queen of the Amazons, and in honor of this, some rustic community theatre types are rehearsing a play to be performed in their honor. Meanwhile, two pairs of lovers are chasing after and running away from one another, while the King and Queen of the fairies argue over a child, and the king’s right hand sprite, Puck, and his fairies spin magic and love potions to win the day. Join our five actors as they ramble and rumble through these woods exploring the magic and humanity that makes this such an unforgettable journey.

TheatreFest is a three part series where students begin the journey of writing to a fully produced play. The first step, students write scripts and read in front of a live audience for constructive feedback by the audience. The second step, the student-written scripts are staged and performed for a live audience. The third step, students produced a full version of their show, including set, costumes, props, sound and lighting. Events are typically held at Little Theatre, from October to April, and are FREE and open to the public.
Reader's Theatre
The first step in script development, new student-written scripts are read in front of a live audience. Constructive feedback is provided by the audience and fellow participants to the author. The goal is a fully produced production. With just a stool and a script, this bare bones reading is the initial step in a journey of writing a fully produced play.

Black Box Staging
The second step in script development, new student-written scripts are staged and performed for a live audience. The plays are performed in a Blackbox setting with limited technical aspects, and simplified sets and staging, allowing for an in-depth focus on acting and writing. This workshop features the revised script work and performances, followed by an audience and author/cast/director discussion.

Improv
Join TAP’s own Improv troupe – “The Pioneer Players” – for a make-it-up-as-we-go night of hilarious gags and games. Like the long-running hit TV show, Whose Line Is It Anyway, the night consists of a series of games in which our student performers get themselves in funny situations live, as comedy ensues.
