"A Midsummer Night's Dream" presented by Meadow Sky Productions

Description

A Midsummer Night's Dream presented by Meadow Sky Productions. 

October 4th, 5th, 11th, and 12th, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream comes to Central Oregon. We are hosted by The High Desert Music Hall in Redmond, will have an alcoholic bar and concessions available for guests, and plan to provide our patrons with an evening full of laughter, theater, and magic. While honoring the original plot and language of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", literary scholars in our audience might notice that our script has been trimmed to make it extremely accessible for our modern patrons. Fairies, Lovers, and Mischief all remain, but in a form that will draw our audience in rather than pushing them away. Furthermore, we intend to honor the tradition of Shakespeare performance that includes the audience in the story. Fairies run through aisles, Lovers chase with swords, and even Royalty deigns to acknowledge the attending crowd throughout our show. Students and teachers, business owners and employees stand shoulder-to-shoulder to create the magic that is Meadow Sky Productions' performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Venue: High Desert Music Hall in Redmond, OR 818 SW Forest Ave, Redmond, OR 97756 

Alcoholic beverages and concessions will be available for purchase before the show and during intermission. House Opens at 1:30 pm or 6:30 pm, and the show begins at 2 pm or 7 pm. Show runtime is approximately 2 hours, with a 15 minute intermission. 

As one of the few theaters in Central Oregon to commit to paying our actors, and with aspirations of being Central Oregon's first professional Regional Theater, we are trust-falling into the hands of our community to support what we do and grow with us. Here's just a sample of how your patronage, through tickets and sponsorships, will be used: 

• Facility Rental 
• Rehearsal Space Rental 
• Show Rights (For future shows, but Shakespeare is in the public domain, which is helping our company's first show expenses!) 
• Set building expenses 
• Program and Flyer Printing 
• Costumes 
• Props 
• Insurance 
• Background checks 
• Lighting and stage equipment 
• Paying our Director, Assistant Director, Stage Manager, Costumer 
• Paying our Actors (Guaranteed a percentage of ticket sales, and hoping to increase beyond that depending on community support) 

Please note that we are not a 501(c)(3), and financial support/sponsorships are not tax-deductible. If you'd like to sponsor us as an individual or business, please follow the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc0LGJl-fY2xJl7cjXI1GBRqyw9CXEAq2lAkDqjXRb1vfI76Q/viewform?usp=sf_link
