MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
by William Shakespeare
directed by Grant Sorenson
Shakespeare's most overdone comedy gets a radical new production that explodes Original Practice all-male casting into something messy, sexy, and very gay.
Performed by six dynamic actors, this MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM embraces the dark, twisted, and unsettling aspects of Shakespeare's original text, served up in a flamboyant and unexpectedly queer way.
See what chaos ensues when a company of Boy Actors takes over the Cockpit for the performance of their dreams.
Featuring Bryce Baxter*, Jack Bechard*, Jonathan Edwards, David Michaeli, Richard Rigmaiden*, Leo Rossmiller, and Kashif Shakti.

Praise for THE MODERN REP'S recent production of SALOMÉ:
"This is a rare chance to see Oscar Wilde's play Salomé, and not just see it, but experience it…Theater doesn't get much more thrilling and immediate and visceral than this." - Cherry & Spoon
"Director Grant Sorenson eschews traditional theatrical forms, creating something immediate, immersive, and visceral.” - The Stages of MN
"Director Grant Sorenson has created an incredibly cohesive “semi-immersive” production buoyed by the charismatic and deeply thoughtful performances by the cast. ...Absolutely vibrates with satire, comedy, and social commentary that still resonates one hundred and thirty years after its debut." - Aisle Say Twin Cities
