Join TesserAct Theatre Ensemble as we flip the gender switch! Titania is the new Oberon! The Queen of the Fairies holds all the power in this timely adaptation of the Shakespeare
Classic Comedy. Watch in glee, as Oberon, not Titania, has the love potion sprinkled upon his sleeping frame. TesserAct Member, Kristin Casner, has faithfully kept all the iambic pentameter intact, but the lovers are all swapped! Everyone will enjoy getting in on the Midsummer Fun!

We will be reading from the script of Kristin Casner's adaptation. Come prepared to strut your Shakespearean stuff! We are looking for high-energy folks of all ages and types to bring life to these classic characters. You must come wanting to have fun and do your best! ALL
ROLES AVAILABLE!
