DANBURY, CT - Western Connecticut State University s production of William Shakespeare s A Midsummer Night s Dream, directed and adapted by Theatre Chair Pamela McDaniel, premiered on Friday. This is the second installment in the theatre department s Spring Virtual Production Series that runs through May 9.
A Midsummer Night s Dream belongs to the early-middle period of Shakespeare s work, full of poetry in the lines he wrote, creating almost a musical without music. This wildly popular play is frequently adapted today. NewArts, the performing arts wing of the 1214 Foundation, produced an original musical based upon the play entitled A ROCKIN Midsummer Night s Dream with music by Eric Svejcar. Both casts of the Newtown-area young performers went on to record the original cast album with Broadway Records.
