This year’s free Shakespeare festival for children welcomes back a reprise of last year’s successful run of a “Mini-Midsummer’s Nights Dream” adapted from William Shakespeare and directed by Morna Martell, with music by Ralph Martell.
Although this is billed as a children’s show, it is enjoyed by folks of all ages. All children attending are invited to join Puck’s merry Band during the performances to help cast a wider spell.
The professionally mounted production features Sarah Bolger returning as Puck, joined by Ellen Boyce as Helena, Carl Fortunato as Duke Theseus, Francesca Fortunato as Titania, John Paul Harkins as Oberon, Alex Harper as Snug and the Lion, Zelda Knapp as Bernla, the unforgettable Barry Leibman as Flute/Thisbe, and David Lutzer will again don his Donkey head to play Bottom./Pyramis, Charlie MacAndrew plays Snout/ the Wall, Randi Sobol Raiti/Quince, Dan Wuerdeman, the Starvling/Moon, and Brian Gerard Murray appears as Demetrius.
All performances are free, and will be presented in our Floral Amphitheater by the 89th Street entrance.
Garden Book Sales Sundays 2-4:30 pm,
Stop by early and browse the books. Priced to sell , hard cover books from $1 to $2, and paperbacks ( always better on the train) are just 50 cents, or three for a dollar .
