Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's Touring Company, comprised of six professional actors, will be touring A Midsummer Night's Dream and Julius Caesar in the 2011-2012 school year. These productions clock in under two hours, and the Touring Company can perform in almost any space (approximately 15' x 20'), including gyms, theaters, and libraries. The show concludes with a question-and-answer session to allow the students to talk with the actors and gain new insight into the play. Appropriate for sixth grade and up.
A Midsummer Night's Dream
What happens when feuding fairies meddle in the love lives of human couples? Comical adventures, mistaken identities, and a silly play-within-a-play! In this whimsical forest, a happy ending is guaranteed for both sprites and mortals alike. Click here to download the Midsummer Night's Dream Study Guide!
Julius Caesar
Friends turned into bitter enemies. Terrible prophesies fulfilled. And one of the most famous deaths in history. William Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” takes to your stage with a timeless tale of power, politics, and passion. With Rome on the brink of a civil war, we are left to watch and wonder: Will Brutus seek redemption for his moment of deception, or will the ghosts of Rome torment his final days?
