A Midsummer Night's Dream is directed by Tamilla Woodard and began performances on June 5th, with an opening slated for tomorrow, June 11th at the 47th Street Theatre (304 West 47th Street). BroadwayWorld has a first look at the company in action below!
Also in the cast are Kevin Cristaldi (Next Fall), Andrew Ramcharan Guilarte (Fifth Planet From The Sun, Awake And Sing), Jan Leslie Harding (TV: "The Boys That Brunch," Broadway: The Green Bird),Emilio Paul Tirado (Web Series "Black Arrow Fly!"), Jack Herholdt (National Tours: Peter Pan and A Christmas Carol), Lou Liberatore (Broadway: As Is, Burn This), Reynaldo Piniella (Honky), and Warren Jackson (National Tour: Macbeth).
Set in a modern day playground, Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by Tamilla Woodard, riffs on the culture of uber celebrity, where Oberon and Tatiana are the Kanye and Kim of the fairy world. As they argue, their immense celebrity and power creates a hysterical ripple effect in the mortal world.
The creative team includes Raul Abrego (Set Design), Dustin Cross (Costume Designs), Joyce Liao (Lighting Design) and Brett Macias (Sound Design and Original Music).
Tickets are $50 - $65 and can be purchased by visiting www.ticketcentral.com or by calling 212-279-4200.
