A Midsummer Night’s Dream: A New Musical
October 23 @ 7:30 pm - November 18 @ 10:00 pm
Updated to a place not unlike the great state of Florida, where the country club abuts the everglades and everything is humid and everyone is every-so-slightly… strange, this musical Midsummer takes place on the eve of billionaire film producer Demetrius and District Attorney Hermia’s wedding of the century. The comedy, enchantment, and twisted emotional journeys of the Bard’s source material mixes with contemporary nonsense, and a whole lot of horns! All are welcomed in, including the audience, as words, dance and music fuse, and we find out just what twisted kind of Fools These Mortals Be.
Monan Artist-in-Residence Patrick Lazour ‘13 will direct a new musical adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, written with his brother, Daniel Lazour, and collaborator Mark Sonnenblick, the Oscar-winning co-writer of “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters. Patrick and Daniel Lazour were 2015-2016 Dramatists Guild Fellows and received the 2016 Richard Rodgers Award and the 2021 Jonathan Larson Grant.
