Vermont Shakespeare Company Board of Directors: Marianne Dimascio Nick Durso Lyn Jarvis John Nagle Jena Necrason Adam Necrason Molly Walsh Board of Advisors: Mark Hall Amitin Joanne Farrell About our partnership with The Department of Theatre at The University of Vermont: Vermont Shakespeare Company is growing a Shakespeare Festival. Our vision is to build a nationally recognized destination festival that has both outdoor and indoor shows, a funded educational component, pre-show arts events and Shakespeare-focused community events for all ages. About two years ago, I met with Gregory Ramos, chair of the UVM Department of Theatre. We talked about the possibility of a partnership with a goal of bringing summer Shakespeare back to the Royall Tyler Theatre while providing professional opportunities for the UVM theatre students. Many of you may remember the long-running Champlain Shakespeare Festival. We have a strong vision to build something like that again. Vermont Shakespeare Company would like to express deep gratitude to the talented and hard-working faculty and staff here at UVM for welcoming us into their house and for all the assistance they have given us. These are the initial stages of the re-birth of a Festival for our beautiful state. To specifically support this partnership please visit: [TBA info here] Our Mission: Vermont Shakespeare Company is dedicated to presenting wildly innovative productions of Shakespeare and to finding an exhilarating way to connect the beauty of our natural world to the magic of live theatre. We are committed to using the powerful spirit of theatre to affect positive change in the world. We achieve this by teaching workshops that encourage freedom of expression and the nurturing of the authentic creative voice, mentoring young people interested in a career in the arts, and involving the community in all aspects of our productions. We utilize the timeless work of Shakespeare to continue the dialogue about the challenges of being human, and to explore ways to meet those challenges with strength and joy. Our Vision: To create a thriving and nationally recognized Shakespeare Festival that serves the people of Vermont. Our goal is to perform two shows in repertory each summer running for one month. Would you like to take part in our Professional Internship Program? Available to exceptional young theatre artists from high schools and colleges all over Vermont, the program aims to give young people exposure and access to the world of professional theatre and the opportunity to learn from and observe seasoned artists in rehearsal and in performance. Participants take part in all aspects of theatrical production and take workshops and classes with company members. To apply for our 2015 season please visit our website www.vermontshakespeare.org .

Here is our Wish List: A new website design Mini Van or mid-size car for Company Transport (2 weeks only) Large house for company (1-5 weeks) Assistance with Fundraising/Grant Writing Tents for our performance site Sound System Directors Note W elcome to our seventh season of Summer Shakespeare! As we dive into uncharted territory with exciting new venues and partnerships, we are thrilled to share it all with you. As we grow a Shakespeare Festival for the state of Vermont, the most important thing is to build our audience and create lasting relationships that will help sustain our vision. Vermont Shakespeare Company was founded in 2005 and A Midsummer Night’s Dream was our inaugural production. It’s a play that is always a joy to re-visit. What you will see tonight is a completely new production. This season we had the challenging task of creating a show that would be performed both outdoors and indoors; a first for us. The questions and obstacles this presented also opened up exciting opportunities. We needed to figure out how to design a set that would work in both environments. We wanted to utilize as much organic material as possible. The play encouraged us to think about how the things we strive for and seek are often right there in front of us. We began to think about how we might re-purpose set materials we already had in stock, how we could utilize recycled materials. And we combed the woods to find pieces we could use. Almost the entire set is composed of items that were utilized in previous seasons and found organic material. A Midsummer Night’s Dream begins in a place of turmoil in a world that is off-kilter. The citizens of Athens are attempting to re-define themselves, and the spirit world has been thrown into chaos as a result of the strife between the Fairy King and Queen. The characters themselves are on a journey of renewal, struggling toward wholeness and balance. They grapple with the question: What is true love? How do we know when we find it? Enjoy this beautiful, familiar story. Let your imagination run wild, just like the characters in the play. Thank you for being here and supporting us. We’ll see you on the other side of the Dream! Jena Necrason Artistic Director T Play Synopsis heseus, Duke of Athens, and Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, anticipate their impending wedding, when Lord Egeus arrives with Lysander, Demetrius and his daughter Hermia. Egeus demands she wed Demetrius, despite the fact that she and Lysander are in love. Athenian law requires Hermia to either obey her father, or choose between death or life as a nun. Hermia and Lysander secretly plot to run away to the forest. They reveal their plans to Helena, Hermia’s childhood friend. Helena, who loves Demetrius and hopes to win his favor, informs him of the elopement. Demetrius pursues Hermia and Lysander into the forest; Helena follows. A group of working men/women from Athens meet to discuss the play they hope to perform for the royal wedding. They arrange to rehearse in the woods. Oberon and Titania, King and Queen of the fairies, meet in the woods after a long separation and resume their jealous confrontation. Oberon takes revenge by ordering his servant Puck to fetch a magical flower. When the nectar is squeezed onto the sleeping Queen’s eyes, she will fall in love with the next live creature that she sees. Oberon spies Demetrius spurning Helena in the woods, and instructs Puck to also apply the nectar to Demetrius’ eyes hoping to unite the two Athenians. However Puck mistakes the sleeping Lysander for Demetrius, unleashing a series of mishaps that reap havoc on the quartet of young lovers. In another part of the woods, as the workers rehearse their play, Puck transforms the head of one of the workmen, Bottom, into an ass, which sends his comrades running in fear. At that moment, Titania wakes and falls in love with Bottom the ass. Chaos ensues deep into the night. As day starts to break, Oberon realized the extent of Puck’s errors with the young lovers and orders him to immediately remedy the situation. In the meantime, Oberon releases Titania from her spell and Bottom is restored to human form. It is now morning and Theseus, Hippolyta and Egeus discover the sleeping lovers in the woods and learn of their newfound harmony. Egeus begs punishment but Theseus overrules Egeus, decreeing that the lovers will marry as they wish, alongside Hippolyta and himself. Bottom is reunited with this friends and they learn they will perform their play for the royal wedding. After the performance, there is a dance. The clock tolls midnight. The three couples retire to their bedrooms. Oberon, Titania and their fairies bless the marriages, and Puck blesses the house.
