A Midsummer Night's celebration


Published/Last Modified on Saturday, June 17, 2006 12:56 PM MDT


21 actors, ranging in age from under five to over 60, have been coming to the Boys and Girls Club of Bisbee each weekend play Shakespeare. Each one is an integral part of Bisbee's Obscure Productions "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Shakespeare has provided great characters for the actors: royalty, young lovers, fairies and "rustics." "Pyramus and Thisbe," the rustic's play-within-a-play, is one of the funniest pieces of theater ever written.


The actors will perform this silly and exciting piece on Midsummer's Night, June 21, and the following weekend, June 23 and 24, in Bisbee's City Park. And the show will be free, thanks to the production company and its community sponsors.

Generous individual and corporate sponsors have each contributed $50 or $100, which entitles them to program credit and two seats in the audience. The company also received support from the Bisbee Foundation. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is also sponsored by the Bisbee Arts Commission and the City of Bisbee, owner of City Park.

Performances will start at 7:30 pm, and patrons should arrive early and bring their own chairs.

For more information or to help sponsor this truly community production, please contact Bisbee's Obscure Productions at (520) 432-2901.
