Shakespeare isn’t your typical fare for the amateur, but when Abby gets her chance to direct A Midsummer Night’s Dream with a cast of community misfits, she discovers more drama outside the rehearsal hall than in it. A hilarious look at how theatre can bring purpose, meaning, and connection to even the most motley of crews.

 

Don’t miss this hilarious new comedy by Stratford Festival favourite, Steve Ross! Steve was last seen on the Stratford stage in La Cage Aux Folles and Somethin’ Rotten. Born and raised in the Niagara Region, Steve had his beginnings in the community theatres of Grimsby, Smithville, and St. Catharines. This led to stints at both Brock University and The National Theatre School of Canada where he studied acting.
