SYNOPSIS
A story of order and disorder, reality and appearance and love and marriage. Theseus (Duke of Athens) and Hippolyta (Queen of the Amazons) are to be married and great celebrations are planned. The renowned comedic play finds the world of humans intersecting with the realm of magic. The lovely Hermia is to wed Demetrius but she truly cares for Lysander. Hermia's friend, Helena, is in love with Demetrius, while other romantic entanglements abound in the woods, with married fairy rulers Titania and Oberon toying with various humans and each other.



WELCOME NOTE
We are very excited to welcome you to Academy Show Season 2023! It is still not lost on us that live theatre is back and we are so excited to be able to entertain so many audiences again. This year, the Academy will be performing 6 different musicals and there will be 24 total performances!

Art Education is even more vital during these challenging times: it helps reinforce how important teamwork and community is, it helps develop a variety of social skills, it helps children take risks and gently pushes them outside their comfort zones. We truly hope you have seen a positive change in your children over the course of this year. Our raison d’être at the Academy is to nurture the love of Arts for the next generation, strengthen our students sense of self-worth and to enjoy the countless benefits in expressing themselves through performance.

We want to thank you, the parents, for accommodating our rehearsal schedules and helping your children prepare. We could not have done it without you! We have been working tirelessly all year to bring these shows to you and look forward to enjoying many more entertaining occasions together in the future.

Enjoy the show!

Liana Wiener, Director of the Academy
