Tech Theatre Presents “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”

How does it end? Happily, of course! But the mad romantic romp won’t end until magic restores the lovers’ senses. In Shakespeare’s words:

“Ay me! for aught that I could ever read,
Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of true love never did run smooth.”

Play director Patricial Helsel describes the production, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream features actors from all across campus, as well as community and staff members. Christopher Schwartz, Lecturer in the Kinesiology and Integrative Physiology Department, plays Oberon, the King of the Fairies.  Mark Wilcox, News Writer for University Marketing and Communications joins the cast as Quince, leading the comedic troupe of artisans.
