Welcome to the Renaissance! This outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce takes places in the 1590s and centers around the Bottom brothers. Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rockstar known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing, and acting all at once, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world's very first musical and hilarity ensues.
The cast includes: Sterling Beard as Nick Bottom, Nathan May as Nigel Bottom, Anthony Holmes as Shakespeare, Alex Rain as Nostradamus, Samantha Snow as Bea, Rae Hillman as Portia, Eric Feldman as Minstrel, Doug Fowler at Brother Jeremiah, Austin Bender as Lord Clapham, Peter Tremmel as Shylock, Bryson Beavers at Tom Snout, Jacob Sellers at Robin, John Avant III as Peter Quince, Dayton Wilson as Frances Flute, and Abby Copeland, Elanor Gross, Amy Parsons, Layla Rorem, Mia Tremmel, and Shelby Tuffnell as the ensemble.
