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.
