With two fall plays under way, students in acting ensemble are working hard. The first play is “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” on October 26, 27, and 28. Written by William Shakespeare, the play is a comedy. Although the show has the complex language of Shakespeare, it will have a fun twist to keep it light and comedic.

Also, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will not be in the traditional theatre format. While the majority of the stage will be for performers, the border will be filled with audience members. Thus, each audience member is seated at a different angle around the stage, and performers must be extremely flexible with their positioning.

Since the show has limited seating, it is crucial to buy a ticket before showing up to the show.

The second fall play is “Game of Tiaras” by Don Zolidis. The show will be performed on November 10 and 11. While the show is inspired by Shakespeare’s “King Lear,” Zolidis has put a modern-twist and even goes as far as adding Disney princesses as characters.

“I’m in ‘Game of Tiaras’ and the show is hilarious. I would highly recommend it. Last year, I was in ‘Irena’s Vow,’ which was a great experience, but the show was very serious. This is definitely a different kind of experience,” said Adam Levine, 11.

“Game of Tiaras” also has references to “Game of Thrones” and other modern pop-culture themes, in addition to Disney.

“I’m a soldier in ‘Game of Tiaras,’ and I legitimately can’t stop laughing during rehearsal because the show is so funny,” said Madeleine Weiss, 11.

With the language of a Shakespeare play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” may not be suitable for young children; however, “Game of Tiaras” is appropriate for all ages.

“Anyone and everyone can come see this show,” Levine said.

Tickets will go live soon for both shows on the Aves Theatre website.
