Ken Ludwig's Midsummer/Jersey is the hilarious high-octane re-telling of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream set on the boardwalk of a seaside town in modern-day New Jersey. The story revolves around the impending marriage of the Governor of New Jersey, four beach-bound high school crushes, a lively crew of fairies and the staff of the local beauty salon (run by Patti Quince and Stylist Nikki Bottom). The night takes a magical turn when Oberon and the impish Puck arrive on the scene armed with a powerful love potion and a desire for mischief making. With several weddings and the acting careers of six beauticians hanging in the balance, the lovers take to the boardwalk, backed by pop music and an iPhone-obsessed wood sprite.
This presentation is by the Lakeside High School One Act Play Team who will compete at Region with this show later this month. Directed by Mrs. Nicole Nappo, this talented troupe of 20 actors will take you on a side-splitting journey to where Jersey Shore and the Fairy Realm meet.
