Theater at Monmouth to present Shakespeare in Rangeley

RANGELEY — The Rangeley Friends of the Arts will sponsor The Theater at Monmouth in a presentation of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” Wednesday, Oct. 18, at 7 p.m. at the RFA Lakeside Theater. There is no charge; however, free-will donations will be accepted. An encore performance will be presented at 9:30 a.m. for grades 9-12 at Rangeley Lakes Regional School. The production is adapted and directed by Kent Burnham.

Magic, laughter, and love are on the loose in the woods outside Athens in Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy. The fairy king and queen are at war, court and commoners alike prepare for Theseus and Hippolyta’s wedding, and Puck stirs the pot leading two pairs of lovers on a wild and wacky chase in search of true romance.
In addition to the two performances, TAM will be providing theater workshops to different classes at RLRS throughout the day. TAM’s visit is organized by English teacher Tim Straub in conjunction with the School Program Committee of the RFA. For more information, call 207-864-5000 or email rangeleyarts@gmail.com
