Shakespeare Summer Nights at Frontier Park - A Midsummer Night's Dream
🎭✨ NEW EPISODE ALERT: Shakespeare Summer Nights - A Midsummer Night's Dream! ✨🎭
This week on Spotlight 814, we welcome director Karalyn Headley to talk about A Midsummer Night’s Dream, part of Gannon University’s Shakespeare Summer Nights series at LEAF (Lake Erie Arboretum at Frontier Park)!
🌿 Hear all about:
✅ Gender-fluid casting choices that challenge tradition
✅ How Oberon and Puck are just like… your cat? 🐈
✅ The beauty (and chaos) of Shakespeare in the Park
✅ The incredible local talent in the cast
✅ Plus… a few ridiculous Midsummer pop culture adaptations you won’t believe
☕️ Before our Werner Books Coffee Break, we spill some Broadway tea on some "influencer" chaos 🤳 let’s just say… don’t be a “Malcolm.”
🎭 And in What’s On 814, we spotlight the hottest events in town, including:
🎟 Spotlight 814’s Original Works Weekend at PACA
🎟 Auditions for American Idiot and Hadestown: Teen Edition
🎟 Radium Girls, Footloose, Rock of Ages, and more!
