Dreams a success

Despite being performed in winter, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was able to intrigue the audience with confused lovers and mischievous scheming throughout the entirety of the play.

Cass Foster’s version of William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was performed at the Strathmore High School theatre this past week. 

Mrs. Richardson’s Drama 20/30 class was a huge hit among the audience, who clutched themselves from laughing too hard with Nick Bottom’s character, played by Seth Balance.

Matt Rederburg, who played Puck, said “aspects of the physical characterization came from myself trying to emulate small things I had seen Kate Van Kruyssen, (a previous drama student) do.”  

Matt’s character was a major source of entertainment during the play, from making silly mistakes that caused a lot of confusion to moving quirkily and fluidly across the stage.

The set of the play was created by a few of the school’s art students and was exceptional. The overall look of the stage was marvelous.
